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.

The WaveVortex® 10 electrode rotator is designed to suit the needs of those looking to perform rotating disk (RDE) and rotating ring-disk (RRDE) electrode experiments with limited lab space. This small footprint rotator is compatible with any existing 15 mm OD RDE/RRDE electrodes manufactured by Pine Research, along with many of our cells, glassware, and accessories. Control box, motor, shaft, and enclosure are all fixed into one convenient unit, making the WaveVortex compact and easily moved around. Rotation rate can be manually controlled on the front panel with digital display, as well as using an external voltage source from a potentiostat or other voltage source for secondary rotation rate control. Electrode connections are made to the rotating shaft using silver-carbon brushes. There are two contacts – the red is for the disk, and the blue is for the ring. The WaveVortex 10 is RoHS compliant.
