Metrohm Autolab RDE.S – High-performance rotating disc electrode for electrochemical measurements
The Metrohm Autolab RDE.S is specially designed to provide precise control of the rotation speed in electrochemical experiments. Its ability to operate between 100 and 10,000 rpm, with a setting resolution of 1 rpm, allows the experimental conditions to be finely adjusted to each protocol. The motor can be controlled directly from a button on the front of the controller, but it can also be integrated into a remote control environment via the NOVA or INTELLO software , offering great flexibility of use. The system is based on a liquid mercury contact, ensuring low electrical noise and remarkable measurement stability, even at high speeds. The PCTFE rod ensures excellent chemical compatibility and is compatible with Metrohm vessels and most electrochemical cells available on the market.
Compatibility and experimental versatility
The RDE.S is compatible with several types of interchangeable electrode tips, offering a wide range of applications. Available tips include platinum, gold, silver and glassy carbon electrodes, each suited to specific analyses depending on the nature of the electrochemical reactions being studied. The standard version includes a 3 mm diameter platinum tip, but other sizes and materials can be used to meet the specific requirements of each research project. In addition, the system can be used in conjunction with rotating cylindrical electrodes (RCE) and ring-disk electrodes, further expanding its field of application. The electrodes are designed to operate in a temperature range of 0 to 40 °C, ensuring adequate thermal stability for most laboratory experiments.
A key tool for electrochemical research
The Autolab RDE.S is a benchmark choice for university, industrial or applied research laboratories working on the study of reaction mechanisms, electrochemical kinetics or the development of new materials. Its optimised design, combined with manual or remote control options, makes it a tool that is perfectly suited to research requiring precision, repeatability and low background noise. Whether for the study of redox reactions, electrochemical deposits, corrosion or electrocatalysis, the RDE.S offers reliability and flexibility of use that make it a long-term investment.
Its compatibility with a wide range of electrode materials and its ability to maintain stable rotation speeds over long periods of time make it an essential instrument for in-depth exploration of electrochemical phenomena.
