Potentiostats & Battery Cyclers
Potentiostat Modules & Accessories
Product Overview
Ivium offers a range of optional modules that can be used with their potentiostats to extend their functionality. This enables you to increase the maximum voltage or current of your potentiostat as well as connect your potentiostat to multiple cells for sequential measurements. There are also modules to add a bipotentiostat and allow you to connect multiple potentiostats to the same working electrode in your electrochemical cell. Finally, communication modules are available for storing data or connecting remotely via Wi-Fi.
IviumBoost1001
The IviumBoost 1001 is designed to boost the compliance voltage of your existing Ivium potentiostat to 100V. Additional compliance voltage may be required in cell with highly resistive media like organic solvents or when the concentration of electrolyte salt is low.
Product Specifications
- Compliance Voltage/Applied Voltage –±100 V
- Compliance Current – ±0.6 A
- Current ranges – defined by the controlling potentiostat
- Max. EIS Bandwidth 100 kHz
IviumBoost10012
The IviumBoost 10012 is designed to boost the compliance current of your existing Ivium potentiostat to 100 A. In addition the booster is stackable, so multiple boosters can be combined to increase the current further. High currents are required for high energy storage devices like batteries, fuel cells and electrolyzers, and flow batteries.
Product Specifications
- Compliance Voltage/Applied Voltage – ±12 V/±10 V
- Compliance Current – ±100 A
- Current ranges – defined by the controlling potentiostat
- Max. EIS Bandwidth 100 kHz
OctoBoost16000
The OctoBoost16000 is a multiple channel booster that can boost the current output of your existing Ivium potentiostat to 16 A. Adjacent channels can also be combined to further boost the current output reaching a maximum of 128A, if desired. The OctoBoost can be used with a multiple channel instrument like the OctoStat or Ivium-N-Stat or with multiple single channel instruments.
Product Specifications
- 8 channels
- Compliance Voltage/Applied Voltage – ±5 V/±5 V (-2V -+9V)
- Compliance Current – ±16 A
- Max. EIS Bandwidth 10 kHz
WE4
The WE4 works with your existing Ivium potentiostat to allow 4 simultaneous potentiostatic controlled measurements in the same cell. The module connects directly to your Ivium potentiostat cell connector and comes with a special cable to enable connection to the additional working electrodes. Simultaneous measurements can be made with Linear Sweep Voltammetry, Cyclic Voltammetry, Chronoamperometry and constant potential impedance where the same potential is applied to each electrode. Sequential measurements can be made with all techniques. Application areas include nanotechnology, sensor development, biotechnology and medical research.
Product Specifications
- 4 simultaneous working electrodes channels
- Compliance Voltage/Applied Voltage – ±10 V/±10 V
- Compliance Current – ±2.5 mA
- Current ranges – 10 nA – 1 mA
uMux
The uMux enables an Ivium potentiostat to be connected to 8 separate electrochemical cells sequentially. Each cell can have independent working, reference and counter electrodes. Upto 8 uMux modules can be used with one potentiostat expanding the number of cells to 64.
Product Specifications
- 8-channel multiplexer for sequential measurements.
HiMux.XR
The HiMux.XR is similar to the uMux except that it maintains the working sense and reference leads connected to the cell to avoid large current spikes when switching the active channel. Up to 8 HiMux modules can be combined with a single potentiostat, connecting 64 cells.
Product Specifications
- 8-channel multiplexer for sequential measurements.
- Maximum Voltage – 20 V
- Maximum Current – 5 A

CE Link
The CE link allows for 2 potentiostats to be connected to a shared counter electrode without galvanic isolation. This is particularly useful when making a bipotentiostat out of 2 Ivium potentiostats as well as hydrogen permeation measurements with the Devanathan method. In a bipotentiostat configuration, the maximum current capability of each potentiostat is available (up to 5A).
Product Specifications
- Maximum Voltage – 10 V
- Maximum Current – 5 A
- Bandwidth – 5 kHz
External Bipotentiostat
The external Bipotentiostat module creates a bipotentiostat from your existing Ivium potentiostat providing the potentiostat has a 15-pin peripheral port. The second working electrode can either be set at a fixed potential or the potential can be scanned at a fixed offset with respect to the main working electrode.
Product Specifications
- Maximum voltage 2 V WRT to working electrode
- Maximum current 30 mA
Low Current Module
The low current module extends the low current measuring capability of your existing Ivium potentiostat by adding 3 additional low current ranges.
Product Specifications
- Maximum Voltage 10 V
- Maximum current 100 mA
µDataSecure
The µDataSecure is a smaller version of the DataSecure data storage module. µDataSecure stores your experimental data independently of the controlling PC. It has memory for a large number of data points. If your PC gets disconnected either intentionally or unexpectedly, the µDataSecure allows your experiment to continue running to completion. The data can be retrieved subsequently.
Product Specifications
- Up to 1,000,000,000 data points stored independent of the computer
- Connection -LAN/USB
