Proteus Alpha II Cell Kit, 375 mL jacketed glass cell
The Proteus Alpha II Cell with 375 mL jacketed-cell is a flexible system that can be used for many applications. The most common application is in the analysis of flat samples, such as measuring the corrosion rate of a sample that may be modified with paint or other types of coatings. Sometimes cells for studying the electrochemistry of flat samples are called flat cells. The Proteus Alpha II cell is especially suited to thin and planar samples without the need for expensive sample holders or custom electrodes. Another application of this cell is for use as a photoelectrochemical cell, where one end of the cell holds a quartz window and the opposite end holds a flat photoanode material. Light is directed toward the photoanode through the quartz window, with counter and reference electrode installed within the cell through the 14/20 ground glass joints in the top of the glass. The Proteus Alpha II was designed to be simple to use, quick to assemble/disassemble/clean, sturdy, flexible, and versatile. For many applications, the Proteus Alpha II Cell can simplify the physical setup of both corrosion and photoelectrochemicalexperiments.

In Greek mythology, Proteus is a god of rivers and oceanic bodies of water, known for changing his shape. From his name comes the adjective protean, which connotes something that is "versatile" and "capable of assuming many forms." Further, the adjective Protean is used to describe things that are flexible, versatile, and adaptable. We could find no better name for this series of photoelectrochemical cells, which are able to assume many forms to suit the needs of the researcher.
The Proteus Alpha II cell design employs two rigid end assemblies on either side of a ~375 mL glass cell. This cell features anadvanced design and includesseveral improvements over traditional flat cell designs:
