Vertex One

Potentiostat/galvanostat/ZRA with optional FRA/EIS

All-round potentiostat/galvanostat/ZRA

The Vertex.One is an all-round potentiostat/galvanostat/ZRA with optional FRA/EIS. 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 Vertex.One is capable of all standard electrochemical techniques and includes a complete suite of IviumSoft control and data processing software (for Windows based PCs).

The Vertex.One is supplied either as the DC version which is capable of all standard DC techniques, or as the EIS version which has added FRA/EIS capability. The DC version can be upgraded to include FRA/EIS capability at a later date. The instrument can also be expanded with integrated True Linear Scan module, and several options and modules.

Boost your equipment?

Are you looking to expand your electrochemical analysis capabilities beyond just a potentiostat? SFTec offers a wide range of additional equipment designed to seamlessly integrate with your potentiostat, allowing you to tackle even the most complex electrochemical experiments and take your research to the next level.

Bipotentiostat

The bipotentiostat (BiStat) is an internal hardware upgrade that enables a second working electrode (WE2) with programmable potential offset with respect to the RE or WE1.

The bipotentiostat is fully integrated in the potentiostatic Sweep and Transient methods. Its data is recorded simultaneously with the primary channel and can be represented in the same plot using a secondary axis, or in a separate plot. The maximum scanrate or minimum interval times are the same as for the primary channel.

True Linear Scan

The True Linear Scan is a hardware option that applies a smooth analog ramp, instead of the standard staircase sweep. This hardware configuration is available on all Ivium potentiostats, and can be fitted retrospectively via a software-key upgrade.

The True Linear Scan option is designed to be used in those cases where the nature and speed of the electrochemical reaction processes lead to information loss when a standard digital staircase signal is applied (fast transient behaviour, absorption, α-characteristics)
