Potentiostat Essential Line PTCe-0520E
Kolibrik
The Dedicated Workstation for Routine Diagnostics
Equipping a lab for scalable testing shouldn't require compromising on data quality to fit a budget. The Essential Line maximizes your resources by stripping away standalone hardware overhead while maintaining strict electrochemical precision. It provides reliable 4-quadrant operation and accurate measurements tailored for everyday lab workflows. Featuring the exact same data integrity and full-range Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) up to 100 kHz as our heavy-duty models, it ensures uncompromised performance for routine fuel cell, battery, and materials R&D at an accessible price point.
Drive your experiments with the included Artemis — Kolibrik measurement software. It provides robust automation, precise parameter control, and advanced scripting capabilities, ensuring your team maximizes data output without fighting the setup.
