Electrodes sold separately.
Given the wide range of electrodes we offer, rotators do not include electrodes (RDE, RRDE, RCE) and must be purchased separately. This way, you can select the perfect electrode for your applications.
Specify Power Cord
This product requires a power cord to connect to AC mains. Please specify the plug style used in your region when you order this product. We stock a variety of power cords.
Maximum Rotation Rate
All rotating electrodes, including RDE, RRDE, and RCE, have an assigned maximum rotation rate. The maximum rotation rate is specific to each electrode series. Do not exceed the maximum rotation rate when working with rotating electrodes.
