This stand is for electropolishing of needle samples, and provides a movable head that can be used to precisely position samples within an electropolishing solution. The stand uses a leadscrew design that permits both precise sample positioning, whilst preventing accidental dropping of the samples which, as the leadscrew cannot fall when adjusting, unlike simple clamps. A bunded design, and a recessed glassware holder limits the risk of solution spills within the working area. These aid safety when working with corrosive fluids, preventing a source of spills and minimising solution escape during incidental or accidental spillage.

The stainless steel construction minimises corrosion during operation and promotes longevity. The leadscrew and base are detachable, for compact storage and easy replacement of parts.

A electrode arm is provided, to hold the counter electrode in position during operation, allowing for a high degree-of-freedom positioning of the counter-electrode itself.
