The Cage

 

 
In a remote corrosion lab works a lone scientist. He spends weeks polishing samples, preparing cells, mixing electrolytes and analysing metals. Come the day of the testing he wires in his potentiostat expecting perfect results. The results are disappointing, too much mains pick-up. So he shortens his salt bridge, adds a noise reducing electrode and turns off the laboratory lights. Sitting in the dark his data still looks poor and he knows in his heart he should have used a Faraday Cage. But Faraday Cages are hard work. Where does the instrument go? How do the cables fit through? Which ground do you use? Where do you get them?

Here at ACM Instruments we like to help. Imagine if you always had a Faraday Cage ready and waiting for that crucial test, so that it was just as easy to use a Faraday Cage as not to use one. Your data would shine. With this exciting but practical prospect we designed The Cage. Quite simply a perfectly sized Faraday Cage with an inbuilt, state of the art, potentiostat. Complete with galvanostat, ZRA and frequency response analyser The Cage performs exactly as our Gill AC's.

Using our external power supply and internal shielding guarantees no mains enters The Cage. Your cell is connected via short screened wires to the internal connection panel. As the cables never leave the Faraday Cage there is no chance of mains pick-up. At the back of the instrument is a shielded connection for an external cell, to allow it to function as a normal Gill AC and connect to any cell that does not fit into The Cage.

The size of The Cage is a generous 305mm x 305mm with a height of 480mm. That's more than enough for most cells whilst not taking up too much precious bench space. With its silver body and dark blue door it will not look out of place in the most futuristic of laboratories. If blue is not to your taste we can supply a wide range of colours to match any corporate scheme.

For data without equal The Cage is ready when you are, every time and everywhere.
