Smart introduction to electrochemical instrumentation

The demoStat is a small USB-powered potentiostat/galvanostat/ZRA with integrated FRA/EIS. It can perform all conventional electrochemical techniques, including EIS. It is intended as a low-cost investment for feasibility studies and demonstration, but is also perfectly suited for training and education. It is controlled via a USB connection from any netbook, laptop or PC that is Windows operated.

Software:

The demoSTAT is controlled via Ivium’s own Iviumsoft. This versatile, yet intuitive software package allows instrument control, data management and analysis, etc. IviumSoft can also interface with and be controlled from LabVIEW^TM, C++, Delphi, etc. A full suite of IviumSoft is included with each instrument as standard.
