Potentiostat Ultimate
PTCu-05100EW NEW
The PTCu-05100EW is a high-current powerhouse within the Kolibrik Ultimate Line, bringing true multi-channel MegaEIS architecture to a standalone high-power potentiostat. It delivers continuous heavy-duty performance with an output voltage of ±5 V, up to ±100 A, and integrated water cooling. Engineered for advanced scale-up R&D, it eliminates measurement bottlenecks by adding 3 simultaneous measuring channels, 1.25 Msps high-speed sampling, and hardware Trigger IN/OUT to seamlessly capture rapid transient events in your most demanding testing setups.
To control your device and run experiments, you use included Artemis — Kolibrik measurement software.
World-Class Power, Globally Trusted. Precision is our baseline. That’s why our official partner and global leader, Gamry Instruments, chooses to offer Kolibrik potentiostats. This synergy of high-current hardware and world-class expertise delivers the most reliable measurement systems to researchers and gigafactories everywhere.
