Key features: • Portability: Small footprint (< 600 gram) and low power consumption. The instrument can be operated via the USB port from a pc, without additional power supply. In combination with a laptop-computer, the Ivium CompactStat provides a truly mobile electrochemical measurement station for corrosion and analytical applications.
	• Low noise and galvanic isolation: The instrument is electrically isolated from power lines and PC. It has a superior noise immunity, and is capable of determining very small signals, such as is required in nano-technology applications. Also, the instrument may be applied in situations where the sample must be disconnected from a common ground (floating). • Complete solution: The CompactStat offers a complete package. The hardware includes a build-in high-performance Frequency Response Analyser, and all the standard Electrochemical techniques. All measurement and dataprocessing software is included, for Windows based PC’s.
• Automation: Multiple analog and digital input & output ports are available, that can monitor & control peripheral equipment. The included software integrates this functionality. • Multiple Channel option: Up to 64 CompactStats may be controlled with a single PC via USB. • Expandibility: optional Bipotentiostat-, True Linear Scan- and Coulometer-modules are available.	Standard CompactStat case.

Power Booster: The power of the CompactStat can be greatly increased by adding the Plus-module. The Plus-module connects in front of the CompactStat in-line with the cell cable. However, the power required and delivered by the Plus-module cannot be sustained from the USB anymore. Therefor a mains-adapter is needed. The Plus-module is available in two configurations, increasing the power specifications of the CompactStatPlus to: ● ±250 mA @ ±20 V or ● ±800 mA @ ±8 V/±500 mA @ ±10 V
