Featured Accessories.

PBH-125 / PBH-150

Two versions are available for pouch cell testing, one with a maximum current of 25 A, and another with a maximum current of 50 A. The 4-point connection of these holders allows high-accuracy measurements.

BluRev Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE)

The BluRev RDE is a versatile and rugged rotating disk electrode ideal for use with any Bio-Logic potentiostat/galvanostat. It is available with a choice of quick-fit exchangeable electrode tips in a wide range of materials and diameters.

Standard corrosion cells

The standard corrosion cell is a one-liter cell that can accommodate oversized samples and is specially designed for uniform corrosion experiments.

CCH

This simple coin cell holder allows to test simultaneously 4 coin cells. It is compatible with MPG2 and VMP3 multichannel potentiostat/galvanostat. 4 of these are needed reach 16 simultaneous experiments.

CCH-120/CCH-124

These easy-to-use single coin cell holders are available for two coin cell diameters : 20 and 24 mm. The maximum thickness of the coin cells that can be held is 3.2 mm.

PBH-4 / PBH-8
