Description
(2026 Upgraded version)
The ECSTATsyn-8000 is a batch electrosynthesis system that integrates a potentiostat and magnetic stirrer into a compact, all-in-one unit. Electrosynthesis can be performed simply by entering the required electrolysis conditions through its intuitive touchscreen interface, while experimental settings and measurement data can be saved to a USB flash drive in CSV format for convenient analysis and record keeping.
Key Features
- Integrated Electrosynthesis System: Combines a potentiostat and magnetic stirrer in a compact, all-in-one benchtop instrument.
- Six Measurement Techniques: Supports constant current, constant voltage with voltage or potential control, fast-pulse constant current, fast-pulse constant voltage, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV).
- Fast-Pulse Control: Provides polarity reversal intervals as short as 5 ms in the fast-pulse current and voltage modes.
- Standalone and Intuitive Operation: Operates independently without a PC through an intuitive touchscreen interface, while experimental conditions and measured data can be saved to a USB flash drive in CSV format.
