Product Features
Unique Solution
The Vertex potentiostats/galvanostat/ZRA offer a range of products to fit your unique needs with numerous current and/or voltage variants. While the maximum current of each potentiostat varies the low current capabilities are identical with an impressive 10 nA lowest full scale current range allowing for measurement of currents well into the picoamp range. No need to purchase bulky add-on low current modules! The EIS frequency range allows for elucidation of standard electrochemical reaction parameters like charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance.
Resolution
Accuracy
Vertex potentiostats have impressive 18-bit resolution for current and voltage measurements. Combined with premium hardware, this translates into high-accuracy results. Signal acquisition rates are up to 300,000 samples per second. With a bandwidth greater than 500 kHz, fast signal changes (rise times) are standard, allowing for fast pulse response times and fast cyclic voltammetry.
EIS on Every Potentiostat
Embedded electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is available as an option on every potentiostat in the Vertex range. The frequency range is 10 µHz to 1 MHz, suitable for the vast majority of electrochemical systems. Samples from batteries and fuel cells to highly resistive, organic barrier coatings can be measured and everything in between.
Data Security
Vertex potentiostats can be used with a µDataSecure module (purchased separately) that can save up to 1 billion points independently from the computer. This ensures that if there is a communication loss or a computer crash/update, the measurement will continue, and data will not be lost. This provides peace of mind for long-duration, high-throughput testing.
The µDataSecure module also allows for remote access via a Local Area Network (LAN). This allows for multiple researchers to conduct experiments on the same instrument at the same time. A connection can also be made via a USB cable.
Versatility Through Software
IviumSoft software is a fully functioning dedicated electrochemistry software with a comprehensive suite of electrochemical experiments. Additional features include a batchmode for creating an automated series of experiments, Cycliscan for battery testing protocols and MC mode for multiple parallel experiments. Whether performing R&D or quality control, your needs are covered. You have access to a full suite of standard electrochemical experiments like cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and pulse techniques.
Ivium Vertex
The Vertex potentiostats can be expanded with various options and modules, including a Bipotentiostat, True Linear Scan generator, various power boosters, and multiplexer. Please check with Nanoscience Instruments for specific model compatibility.
