CS310X multi-channel Potentiostat/Galvanostat is a precise and cost-effective electrochemical instrument offering 4~8 channels. Each channel can work independently in a complete electrical isolation mode. All working electrodes are designed in switchable earthing/floating mode. CS310X can significantly boost experiment efficiency. It would be an ideal potentiostat expecially for the battery testing. You can test maximum 8 samples at the same time for one set. It includes all the commonly used methods in battery testing, such as GCD, CV, EIS, GITT, PITT. Maximum current is +/- 1A on each channel. It can connect the current booster to up to +/- 20A/40A/100A, which is important for fuel cell study.
There are 4 basic options for CS310X.
Option A: 4-channel with EIS on one channel
Option B: 4-channel, with EIS on all four channels
Option C: 8-channel, with EIS on one channel
Option D: 8-channel, with EIS on all 8 channels
The number of channel and EIS module can be customized.
More channels can be added by potentiostat boards to be installed on current device
EIS can be upgraded online.
The number of channels is expandable by adding and installing more boards, thanks to the intelligent chassis and plug-in design. Each channel potential control range is10V, current control range ±1A, can meet experiment requirement for most people.
Thanks to the expandable slot design, Customers can open the chassis and install the potentiostat board to increase the number of channels.

Technical Advantages
Switchable floating and earthing mode
All CS potentiostats/galvanostats can switch between the floating and earthing modes, and this strategy is beneficial for studying electrochemical systems in which the working electrodes are intrinsically ground, such as autoclaves, in-site concrete structures and multi-working electrodes requiring isolation, etc.
High-bandwidth EIS
with the help of built-in digital FRA and arbitrary signal generator, as well as the high input impedance (1013 W), the CS potentiostat is particularly suitable for EIS measurements of high-impedance systems (such as coating, membrane, concrete, etc.)
Based on the DC bias compensation technique, CS potentiostats can conduct EIS tests under different charge/discharge states of batteries, making them suitable for ultra-low resistance systems, such as power batteries, fuel cells, water-splitting equipment, etc.
Multiple electrode configurations
CS potentiostats support 2-, 3-, or 4-electrode configurations and can measure the galvanic current via built-in zero resistance ammeter circuits.
Independent multiple channels
For CS 310X multi-channel potentiostat, each channel is completely independent. It can be used for the electrochemistry measurements of multiple cells or multiple working electrodes in a cell.
User-defined sequence test
CS Studio 6.0 for Windows software supports user-defined sequence tests ("combination test"), which can facilitate automatic testing according to user-defined experiment sequences.
Sequence Test: Pseudocapacitor tests
Power booster
Through CS2020B/CS2040B/CS2100B booster, the CS potentiostats can extend their output current up to ±20A/40A/100A, meeting the growing requirements in fuel cells, power batteries, electroplating and
Software development kit (SDK)
All CS potentiostats run under the control of CS Studio 6.0 for Windows (CSS 6.0). The CSS6.0 supports third-party languages, such as LabVIEW, C, C++, C#, VC, Python and others. Some API general interfaces and development examples can be supplied with the CS potentiostats. Through the SDK, customers can implement user-defined test methods.

Real-time data saving
CSS 6.0 saves experimental data timely, even if the experiment is accidentally interrupted by a power failure or computer shutdown. CSS 6.0 supports several data formats compatible with Originpro and Microsoft Excel.
