Boosters for Essential Potentiostats

BioLogic current boosters for Essential Potentiostats are external hardware modules designed to extend the output current range of BioLogic’s Essential-tier potentiostat/galvanostat instruments, including the SP-50e, SP-150e, and EKKO series. By connecting a compatible booster to one of these instruments, researchers can access significantly higher output currents than the base instrument provides, enabling experiments that require more current than the native potentiostat can deliver.

Common applications that benefit from boosters include battery charge-discharge cycling at high C-rates (where the required current scales with cell capacity), electrosynthesis reactions requiring sustained high current density, large-area electrode characterization, and electrodeposition processes. The booster maintains the full measurement and control capability of the host potentiostat — all EIS, CV, galvanostatic cycling, and other techniques remain available — while the booster simply amplifies the current output to the required level.

BioLogic offers multiple booster models to match different current requirements. All boosters are controlled via the EC-Lab software interface of the host instrument, requiring no additional software license. NewRoad provides BioLogic boosters for Essential Potentiostats in Israel for battery research, electrochemical engineering, and high-current electrochemistry laboratories.
