High performance electrochemical atomic force microscope (EC-AFM)

Real time study of electrochemical reactions - Cypher ES atomic force microscopy now supports electrochemical functions

The Oxford Instruments Asylum Research Cypher ES electrochemical unit is a high-quality solution for in-situ study of electrochemical processes using atomic force microscopy. Thanks to its simple modular design, it has multifunctionality and is compatible with a wide range of material categories. What is particularly outstanding is that it is based on a Cypher ES atomic force microscope that has extremely high resolution, outstanding environmental control capabilities, ultra-high scanning speed, and easy operability on the market.

Oxford Instrument Asylum Research Electrochemical Unit for Electrochemical Atomic Force Microscopy Function:

• The Oxford Instruments Asylum Research fully sealed electrochemical unit kit includes independently designed probe holders, liquid cups for imaging in fluids, electrochemical sample holders, and standard electrodes.

• Suitable for any voltage regulator, the choice of regulator depends on the electrochemical application

• Suitable for most commonly used solvents, electrolytes, and electrode materials

• Easy to clean and assemble, even when operating with gloves

• Optional sample stage with local heating and cooling functions to observe electrochemical thermodynamics

• Optional glove box for strict environmental control without compromising system performance
