WaveVortex
Introduction
The WaveVortex is Pine Research's newestelectrode rotator! With a small footprint and affordable price, theWaveVortex is ideal for those needing to perform rotating disk electrode (RDE)or rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) studies with smaller lab spaces andtighter budgets. The WaveVortex design combines the rotator, control unit,shaft, and enclosure in one compact and convenient package. The WaveVortexis also compatible with any existing 15 mm OD RDE and RRDE electrodesmanufactured by Pine Research, along with many of our cells, glassware, andaccessories.
Adjustable rangeup to 8000 RPM
Easy setup
Small footprint
Compatible with existing electrodes/accessories
Integrated enclosure with motor interlock
Description
Electrode tips for this rotator are sold separately.
MAXIMUM ROTATION RATE: Each electrode tip model used with the WaveVortexrotator has a maximum rotation rate. Do not the exceed maximum rotation ratewhen working with rotating electrodes.
The WaveVortex electrode rotator isdesigned to suit the needs of those looking to perform rotating disk (RDE) androtating ring-disk (RRDE) electrode experiments with limited lab space andtight budgets. This low-cost, small footprint rotator is compatible withany existing 15 mm OD RDE/RRDE electrodes manufactured by Pine Research, alongwith many of our cells, glassware, and accessories. See below for listand links of compatible electrodes.
Control box, motor, shaft, and enclosure areall fixed into one convenient unit, making the WaveVortex compact and easilymoved around. Rotation rate can be manually controlled on the front panelwith digital display, as well as using an external voltage source from a Potentiostator other voltage source for secondary rotation rate control.
Electrode connections are made to the rotatingshaft using silver-carbon brushes. There are two contacts – the red is for thedisk, and the blue is for the ring.
