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.

CompactStat.e power booster

To increase the power of the CompactStat.e an optional power booster can be integrated inside the housing of the CompactStat.e. This power booster can be ordered ex-factory, or when the need arises, at a later time.

The CompactStat.e power booster is available in three models:


● CompactStat.e10800
● CompactStat.e20250
● CompactStat.e10050

→    ±10V / ±800mA
→    ±20V / ±250mA
→    ±100V / ±50mA

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.
