Open source potentiostat features
In this blog post we give a quick overview of some of the main differences between two open source potentiostats: Rodeostat and Cheapstat.

Testing a lead colorimetric assay
In this blog post we describe our initial testing of a colorimetric kit for
measuring lead in drinking water. In 2015, a Virginia Tech research team
[http://flintwaterstudy.org/about-page/about-us/] found that over 40% of the
homes in Flint, MI had elevated lead water levels with 25% of homes
Measuring emission spectra for the blue LED transilluminator
Our blue LED transilluminators [https://iorodeo.com/collections/gel-imaging] use
a 470 nm LED array in combination with blue and amber acrylic filters for
viewing DNA bands in agarose gels stained with DNA dyes. Images of gels stained
with Greenview, GelGreen and others can be seen in previous posts on
Irreversible Cyclic Voltammetry
In this blog post we provide data from our testing of the new Rodeostat. We performed a side-by-side comparison between the Rodeostat and the Cheapstat potentiostat using ascorbate cyclic voltammetry experiments.
IO Rodeo Open Source Potentiostat
We have recently been working on a new potentiostat. The Rodeostat (initally
referred to as a potentiostat shield) is an open source potentiostat for
performing electrochemical measurements which is designed to work with the
teensy 3.2 development board [https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/teensy31.html].
The Rodeostat is easily
Potentiostat dummy cells
One of our most frequently asked questions on the Forums
[http://forum.iorodeo.com/] and via email is how to produce a calibration for
the Cheapstat potentiostat. The Cheapstat potentiostat returns measured current
values as raw unitless integers read from the ADC (analog to digital converter)
at the output of
Online forum launched
We have launched a new online forum: http://forum.iorodeo.com.
Our aim in launching this Forum is that over time it will become a valuable
resource for people interested in open source science equipment and DIYBio and
grow to become a place to view frequently asked questions and discussions
