Featured Accessories.

CCH-1

A premium range battery holder using a 4-point connection. The CCH-1 is a premium alternative to the CCH-120 and CCH-124 coin cell battery holders.

BluRev Rotating Disk and Ring-Disk Electrode (RDE/RRDE)

BluRev is a range of robust, versatile, rotating disk (RDE) and rotating ring-disk (RRDE) electrodes ideal for use with BioLogic potentiostats. A range of quick-fit exchangeable electrode tips (multiple materials/diameters) can be easily added.

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.

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

4 and 8-channel holders are available for small pouch cells up to 32 A. These holders have 4-point connection allowing high accuracy measurements.

CBH-4 / CBH-8

CBH-4 and CBH-8 are 4 and 8-position battery holders, respectively, dedicated to large and high power cylindrical battery cells.
