MSTAT - Electrochemical Testing System

Arbin Instruments' MSTAT is a multiple independant-channel testing system designed for pure electrochemical research. Each channel is a true potentiostat and galvanostat which allows independent or combined experiments to run simultaneously.

This series of multiple electrode channels is necessary in order to perform comparative or combinatorial tests and it allows users to examine the properties of different materials under the same electrolytic environment.

MSTAT can perform electrochemical analysis such as: current scans, chronoamperometry, chronocoulometry, chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry, and linear sweep voltammetry. It can also prform experiments such as electrosynthesis, electrochromics, and electroplating.

Features

• Flexible Control Types including constant current, voltage, load and power; as well as, linear ramp, staircase, formula and other control profiles

• Completely Independent Channels allow users to run multiple independant tests simultaneously without affecting what is happening on the other channels

• Industry Leading Accuracy up to 0.02% for low power applications

• Current Rise Times as fast as 50us

• Potentiostatic/Galvanostatic Functionality and multi-electrode configuration enable each channel to run advanced electrochemical experiments

• Dynamic Data Acquisition allows user to capture data in a differnet manner for each step based on change in time, voltage, and/or current - minimizing data file size

• Plug and Play Modules for easy expansion and maintenance

• Channel Paralleling allows users to parallel several of the main channels together to increase the current handling capability of the system

• Multiple Current Ranges for improved accuracy over a wide range of testing conditions

• Cross Zero Linearity allows system to switch from charge to discharge instantly without switching delay

• High Speed Pulse allows the user to use GSM, CDMA, IDEN pulse types or custom design their own sub-second pulse profiles. Each pulse can have up to 10 stages and the pulse can be run once or repeated as in mobile phone applications.

• Smart Battery is used to communicate with smart batteries using SMBus 1.1 or 2.0 (please specify at time of order).  This feature will allow users to read/write registers on the smart battery as well as compare data collected from the smart battery with data that the Arbin system measures directly.

• External Charger/Load allows the user to connect his own charger or load to the system and program the MSTAT to charge/discharge using his charger/load at a predetermined step in the test schedule.  The system internally and automatically connects the battery to the charger/load.  During the External Charge/Load step, the Arbin system collects data about the charger/load performance.

• Temperature Chamber Interface allows the user to integrate the MSTAT system with a temperature chamber and controller. This allows the system to set the temperature set points and ramps seperately in each step for completely automated control. No more trying to time the temperature setpoints seperately...

• Auxiliary Voltage Channels can be used for numerous applications but the most common is to measure individual cell voltages within a pack. They can also be used to measure and monitor a reference or working electrode in a multi-electrode experiment.

• Auxiliary Temperature Channels can be used to measure and record temperature data. They can be inserted into the pack or cell or just used to measure room temperature. Arbin offers both thermocouple and thermistor options.
