A Total Solution for Electrocatalysis Research
The PGSTAT204 combines its small footprint with a modular design. The instrument includes a base potentiostat/galvanostat and an additional Dual mode bipotentiostat (BA) module. This feature converts Autolab into a double channel potentiostat with which measurements on 2 working electrodes such as RRDE.
This package includes a light weight and compact RRDE/RDE setup. The unit can go up to 10,000 rpm. Neither electrode wobbling nor spilling of solution is observed even at such a high rpm. Thanks to liquid Hg contact which guarantees low noise and no wear and tear. The frictionless, brushless and dustless Hg contact also ensures less maintenance. A range of RRDE electrodes are available to meet the requirement of various research investigations and applications. This package also contains a complete RRDE vessel with thermostat jacket, a RRDE tip, reference & counter electrodes and many more accessories.
Highly flexible NOVA 2.1 software allows the user to build a complete procedure incorporating various rotating speed, data processing and Levich and Koutecký-Levich analysis.
A single click on NOVA will deliver the final plots and results!
