Potentiostats & Galvanostats

Ivium XP

The XP electrochemical workstations are high power, research grade potentiostat/galvanostat/ZRA with optional embedded EIS. They are suitable for high current experiments like electrolysis and large battery testing with an industry leading upper EIS frequency limit of 500 kHz (compared to other high current systems). The compliance voltage varies based on model and goes from 10 to 40 volts. The compliance current also varies depending on the model starting at 10A up to 40A.

Application Areas

The primary application of the XP potentiostats involve high current and/or voltage measurements like large batteries, fuel cells and electrolysis systems like electrolyzers.

Product Features

Unique Solution:

The XP potentiostats are powerful instruments for battery, fuel cell and electrolysis research. They are unique products in that they offer high current/voltage capabilities without the need for a booster. As well as combining high current measurements, they are capable of low current measurements also, covering a wide range.

Resolution:
The XP potentiostats come with a wide applied voltage range up to 10 V with a resolution of 80 µV and a measured voltage resolution of 7 nV. The span of current measurement goes over 12 decades of current with an ultimate minimum current resolution of 3 fA (10-15 A). This is important for producing accurate and precise data especially in situations where small signals are present with large signals.
Accuracy

The XP 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 Available

Embedded electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is available as an option on the XP potentiostats. The frequency range is 10 µHz to 500 kHz, suitable for the vast majority of electrochemical systems. It is especially suitable for basic electrochemistry and educational work.

Data Security:

The XP 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.
