Key features
• Power options: The CompactStat is available in 4 power configurations: ±30mA @ ±10V ±800mA @ ±10V ±250mA @ ±20V ±30mA @ ±100V
• 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.e 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.e 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. • Expandability: Optional Bipotentiostat-, True Linear Scan- and Coulometer-modules are available. In addition to this a variety of power boosters is available to increase the operating range of the Standard CompactStat.e	Standard CompactStat case.

Techniques:

• General:
- Automatic current range selection: 1pA to 10mA, and voltage range 0.4mV to 4V.
- Automatic variable noise filter and potentiostat/galvanostat stability settings
- Simultaneous acquisition of current/potential and up to 8 peripheral analog signals
- Real time data display up to 500 pnts/s. Acquisition up to 100,000 pnts/s is stored in instrument memory.
• Sweep methods: Linear Sweep and Cyclic Voltammetry:
- Applicable scanrates: 1µV/s to 10,000 V/s
- Standard scanrange ± 4V, with 0.125mV step resolution.
• Pulse methods: multiple potentiostatic/galvanostatic pulses
- Up to 255 potential or current levels may be defined
- Minimum pulse duration 50µs, definable with 0.125µs resolution.
- Minimum sampling interval: 10µs
• Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
- Up to 255 frequencies may be applied during a single scan in the 10µHz to 3MHz range.
- Result optimalisation by automated tuned filters, gain amplifiers and dc-subtraction.
• Transient methods: Chronoamperometry&chronopotentiometry, ElectroChemical Noise
- Up to 255 potential or current levels may be defined
- Minimum pulse duration 50µs, definable with 0.125µs resolution.
- Minimum interval time: 10µs
- Mixed mode allows sequencing with definable electrical modes:

- Potential Step
- Current Step
- Potential Sweep
- Current Sweep
- Open Cell
- Real-time Impedance Measurements 10Hz-3MHz
- Minimum sample interval: 0.002 sec. and max. 2E9 datapoints/level
- Dynamic termination of stages: E>, E<, dE/dt<, dE/dT>, An1>, An1<, dAn1/dt<, Ifraction<, |Q|<, etc.

- ECN: Electrochemical Noise

- Build-in module, no extra hardware required
- Potential and current recorded simultaneously up to 500 pnts/sec
- Traces up to 2E9 pnts may be recorded
 

The integration of a power booster into the CompactStat.e will greatly increase the application possibilities. In addition to the  availability of higher current/voltage, an automatic selection will choose whether the power booster is activated or not:
      - when powered from USB the power booster is not activated;
      - when powered from adapter the power booster is automatically activated.
In this way the portable use of the USB powered CompactStat is preserved.
