PTFE Sealed Electrolytic Cell with Quartz Optical Window

PTFE Sealed Electrolytic Cell with Quartz Optical Window

Gas-Tight · In-Situ Optical Electrochemistry · Three-Electrode System

Product Overview

The FrankLab PTFE Sealed Electrolytic Cell with Quartz Optical Window is a fully sealed, chemically inert electrochemical reactor designed for in-situ optical electrochemistry, enabling simultaneous electrochemical control and real-time optical observation.

This cell integrates a UV-grade fused quartz optical window into a gas-tight PTFE body, making it suitable for experiments involving photoelectrochemistry, UV–Vis/Raman monitoring, and gas-sensitive or volatile electrolytes.

This product is available only in a sealed configuration to ensure experimental reproducibility, mass balance control, and optical stability.
