Potentiostat Ultimate
PTCu-1050EW NEW
The PTCu-1050EW is a robust, high-performance system in 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 ±10 V, up to ±50 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.
