Smart Assist
/// Take the guesswork out of Electrochemistry
The Smart Assist feature on the ElectraSyn 2.0 is designed to guide a new
user through the steps of setting up an electrochemical reaction. In addition,
more experienced users may find this feature useful to determine appropriate
current levels when running a reaction for the first time.
Smart Assist works by determining the current needed to achieve a cell
potential the corresponding power level selected by the user. Power level
"low", "medium" and "high" correspond to cell potentials of 2, 4 and 6 volts
respectively (without reference electrode). For example, selecting power level
"medium" will allow the ElectraSyn 2.0 to determine the current needed for
a starting potential of 4 V. The current determined will then be used to run a
constant current electrolysis reaction. The experiment duration for Smart As-
sist is determined by calculating the charge needed based on the user’s input
of # mmol of substrate, and the desired equivalents of electrons (F / mol).
When using Smart Assist, it is recommended to start with power level
"medium". If no reaction is observed, power level "high" can be used, while
if over-oxidation / reduction is observed, power level "low" should be used.
Further optimization of reaction conditions can be carried out by beginning
a new experiment or by editing the reaction parameters using the "edit"
function in Smart Assist.
