Ionic – electric conductivity tester

Specialized in characterization of electrical properties of materials at high temperatures and under controlled atmosphere. The equipment is a cell and sample holder for measurements of electrical properties, transport parameters, and kinetics of materials, solid/gas interfaces and electrodes under controlled atmospheres at high temperatures.
