Electrosynthesis

Electrosynthesis, or electrochemical synthesis, leverages electrical energy to drive redox reactions and form new compounds. Our Faraday Lab simplifies electrosynthesis workflows, delivering accurate and reproducible results. This all-in-one workstation enables precise control through constant current, potential, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) modes, optimizing a range of electrosynthesis procedures. Pair it with the SynLectro™ electrolysis platform, featuring standardized electrodes and labware, for a flexible, customizable setup suited to both research- and batch-scale applications.
