This webinar demonstrated how ZP technologies bridge the gap between academic research and real-world applications in electrochemistry education. The presenter highlighted three key experiments using the ZP potentiostat and screen-printed electrodes:
1. **Cyclic Voltammetry with Ferricyanide** – A quick undergraduate-level experiment showcasing oxidation and reduction, emphasizing ease of use and rapid data acquisition (completed in 19 seconds). Data was automatically uploaded to the cloud for analysis, illustrating how raw signals can be converted into concentration values.
2. **Randles-Sevcik Equation Validation** – Multiple scans at varying rates proved the linear relationship between current and scan rate, reinforcing fundamental electrochemistry principles. The experiment highlighted the instrument’s ability to streamline teaching complex concepts.
3. **Real-World Application: Caffeine Detection in Red Bull** – A diluted sample was analyzed, yielding results (0.258 mg/g) consistent with the labeled concentration (0.3 mg/g), demonstrating practical relevance. Reproducible electrodes and cloud-based calibration ensured accuracy.
The webinar underscored ZP’s mission to enhance electrochemistry education by making experiments accessible, efficient, and applicable—from foundational theory to commercialization-ready assays. The integration of QR codes, Bluetooth connectivity, and cloud analytics (via the **Djuli** platform) was emphasized as transformative for teaching and research translation.
