compactSTAT

HIGH RESOLUTION PORTABLE USB POWERED POTENTIOSTAT / GALVANOSTAT / ZRA WITH INTEGRATED IMPEDANCE ANALYSER

The CompactStat is a high end portable potentiostat that can be powered from the USB port of a laptop or PC without additional power supply. With its small footprint (<600 gram) and low power consumption, the CompactStat provides a truly mobile electrochemical measurement station that is ideal for use both in the lab and in the field.

Its exceptionally high measurement resolution of 24bits gives it a unique level of measurement and control. Among its many applications are corrosion, analytical, nano, bio and battery / fuel cell / electrolyser testing.
