General Description

The modern “material science” uses a wide range of measuring techniques and competences.

Between the families of interesting materials for the new century, ceramics and high temperature materials play key roles for extremely demanding fields.

For a deep knowledge of them, the researcher must rely on high performance instruments, easy to use and with a high degree of reliability.

AMEL, thanks to a long timed experience and a continuous development program in close contact with leading laboratories, has developed the first integrated system for high temperature electrochemical experiment: 698 oven and cell. Have a closer view of the connection to the cell.

This unit allows you to run both classical electrochemical experiments or EIS scanning up to 1200 C°, with complete control of the environment around the sample. Have a close view of the front control panel.

2, 3 or 4 wires connections are available, and an integral guarding system that let you reach high impedances without the artefacts usually related to the sample holder.

A family of optional devices will help the researcher to fit specific needs in a flawlessly integration.

Let focus on the real problems and allow AMEL to solve your high temperature problems!
