Highlights

We have created what simply did not exist before: the SPELEC instruments include all that you need for spectroelectrochemistry. The bipotentiostat/galvanostat, the spectrometer, and the light source are all integrated into one instrument controlled by a single, dedicated software. You can thus obtain all the relevant data from a single source and in one software.

Benefits

One integrated solution for faster results

Combine electrochemistry and UV-Vis, Vis-NIR, or Raman spectroscopy in a single measurement. The SPELEC instruments consist of a bipotentiostat/galvanostat combined with a spectrometer and a light source working together. If needed, the electrochemical and spectroscopic modes can be used independently.

The following solutions are available for electrochemical measurements in various wavelength ranges:

VIS-NIR (350-1050 nm)
UV-VIS (200-900 nm)
NIR (900-2200 nm)
Raman (785–1010 nm, Raman shift 0–2850 cm^-1)

All the accessories you need for your experiments

We offer a wide range of accessories to perform spectroelectrochemical experiments with screen-printed electrodes. These accessories are also compatible with other spectroelectrochemical cells.

With the right cell and screen-printed electrode, you can perform transmission, reflection, and Raman experiments using small sample volumes, and you can even easily perform reflection experiments in flow analysis. In addition, screen-printed electrodes can be used as SERS substrates for Raman signals.

Synchronized measurements with DropView SPELEC

Spectroelectrochemistry is a useful technique for investigating and identifying electroactive species and products of redox reactions.

It can be applied in various research fields such as materials science, sensing, corrosion, organic/inorganic chemistry, energy storage, electrocatalysis, life sciences or environment, characterization of new materials, photochemical energy conversion, photovoltaic cell, and analytical chemistry, among others.

Everything you need for your measurement

All SPELEC systems are delivered with a kit including the instrument, DropView software, charger, and a cable connector for conventional electrodes. In the case of SPELEC RAMAN, you will find a Raman Probe in the kit.

All in one

Traditionally, two devices were needed, each with specific software, and a third software to perform spectroelectrochemical experiments. This made the tests slow, complex, and expensive.

One instrument and one software – this is all you need for your spectroelectrochemical experiments with SPELEC from Metrohm DropSens. In this way, you save space on your laboratory bench and valuable time.

One software with comprehensive functionalities

SPELEC systems are controlled by DropView SPELEC, the dedicated software for combined optical and electrochemical measurements. With DropView SPELEC, you can display electrochemical curves and spectra in real time and follow your experiments in counts, least dark counts, absorbance, transmittance, reflectance, or Raman shift. Ensure perfect synchronization of both measurements and benefit from superior performance in terms of data processing (including combined experimental control) and real-time spectra display.
