EC Minicell

EC MiniCell is a miniaturized electrochemical cell for localized tests, thanks to calibrated inserts it is possible to works on really small areas (with diameter from 0,5 to 3mm) without worrying for species accumulation or depletion.

EC Minicell represent the most advanced tool for any localized electrochemical measurements on surface areas in the order of few mm2. The peristaltic pump and cell design allow for electrolyte flow in proximity of the Working Electrode avoiding detrimental concentration gradients of both reactants and products. The stereo litography 3D printed cell is equipped with combined electrode that embeds both Ag/AgCl Reference Electrode and Platinum Counter Electrode. The electrolyte in the Reference Electrode can be both liquid or gel, allowing for upside-down measurements in the field. EC Minicell can be used for any electrochemical application with evidences of aggreement with standard procedure literature data. The localization of the electrochemical reaction allows even for coulometric tests to determine metallic deposits thickness and in-situ determination of porosity via linear polarization on complex shaped objects. There are no constrains anyway on the type of electrochamical measurement that can be performed. The instrument can be connected to any AMEL’s new potentiostat, not included, and it is fully controlled by the provided Windows® based software, with plenty of implemented electrochemical techniques. It comes is a complete set ready for operations.
