Implication

This exercise demonstrates constructing a potentiostat for recording cyclic voltammetry in biochemistry labs, indicating its accessibility for educators.

Key Points

To construct a microcontroller-based potentiostat for performing cyclic voltammetry and analyze relevant compounds.
Constructed a potentiostat using a PCB and mbed microcontroller.
Used a laptop to record cyclic voltamograms in an Excel spreadsheet.
C++ program runs on the microcontroller, with an Excel program using VBA for data analysis.
Conducted laboratory exercises on caffeic acid, epinephrine, and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).
Successfully assembled a functioning potentiostat.
Recorded cyclic voltamograms for target compounds.
Demonstrated the feasibility of the exercise for students with limited technical background.
