About This Product
A chemical Daniell cell needs fresh solutions and careful upkeep, while this unit gives the same kind of steady emf at the turn of a switch. Students use it as the standard or driver cell when calibrating a potentiometer or balancing a Wheatstone bridge. Educational Instrument can arrange export supply of the Daniel Cell Substitute to Bolivia, Uzbekistan, Paraguay, Djibouti, Vanuatu and Cameroon.
