Buehler ElectroMet 4 Electrolytic Polisher and Etcher System with Polishing & Etching Cells
Product Description
The Buehler ElectroMet 4 Polisher/Etcher System is a benchtop laboratory instrument designed for precise electrolytic polishing and etching of metallographic specimens, essential in materials science, failure analysis, and biotechnological metallurgy research. This system facilitates controlled surface preparation, enabling detailed grain boundary and phase structure analysis critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.
Key Technical Features:
- Digital LED displays for voltage, current, time, pump speed, and temperature monitoring—ensures reproducibility and precise parameter control throughout the polishing and etching cycles.
- Programmable timer allows user-defined polishing and etching durations from 1 to 60 minutes, with automatic switching between modes to streamline workflows.
- Variable-speed electrolyte pump with digital control maintains stable electrolyte flow, optimizing surface finishing conditions.
- Integrated temperature probe provides real-time monitoring with automatic over-temperature shutdown to protect samples and equipment during delicate procedures.
- Current overload protection with fault indication safeguards the setup from electrical faults.
- Polishing cell capacity is 1 liter, supporting a wide array of electrolyte solutions tailored for alloys and stainless steel specimens used in biomanufacturing research.
- Etching cell capacity is 200 mL, optimized for precise surface texturing and microstructure revelation.
- Adjustable anode arm accommodates samples up to 5 in (12.7 cm) in height, supporting diverse sample sizes encountered in advanced biotechnology and material science laboratories.
- Operates on 115 VAC, 60 Hz, single-phase power supply suitable for standard laboratory environments.
Included Components:
- ElectroMet 4 power supply and polishing cell module
- Etching cell with input/output tubing
- Polisher masks (3 pcs, PN: 702015)
- Stainless steel cathode set (PN: 702100) and copper cathode set (PN: 702105)
- Stir bar and ThermoCube chiller for electrolyte temperature stabilization
- Power and communication cables
This instrument is widely utilized in metallographic specimen preparation, supporting biomedical engineering, cell imaging sample prep, and molecular biology studies focusing on substrate structural integrity. Its precision and reliability make it critical in biotechnology research requiring controlled surface morphology such as synthetic biology and gene editing workflows.
