Vertex.C
Compliance: ±350mA/±13V
FRA/EIS: 10µHz to 1MHz as standard
Optional Bipotentiostat
Optional True Linear Scan generator
Low cost solution
The Vertex.C is an all-round potentiostat/galvanostat/ZRA with FRA/EIS (not available as a DC-only instrument). Its low cost and wide specifications result in a versatile single-channel instrument, and multiple instruments are an attractive alternative to a multi-channel solution. The cell is connected with our standard shielded cell cable via the HD15 cell connector. The Vertex.C is capable of all standard electrochemical techniques and includes a complete suite of IviumSoft control and data processing software (for Windows based PCs).
Wide application range
The robust design, the wide specification range, the floating operation, and the availability of a wide range of electrochemical techniques makes the Vertex.C ideal for many applications, including:
- educational
- basic electrochemistry
- batteries
- corrosion
- sensors
Expandability
The Vertex.C is supplied with FRA/EIS capability. The instrument can also be expanded with integrated Bipotentiostat and/or True Linear Scan module (contact Ivium/your local distributor for details).
