SOFTWARE FEATURES
Cyclic voltammetry: CS studio software provides users a versatile smoothing/differential/ integration kit, which can complete the calculation of peak height, peak area and peak potential of CV curves. In CV technique, during the data analysis, there is function of selecting exact cycle(s) to show. You can choose to see a cycle or some cycles as you want. You can also export data or vector graph of an exact cycle or several cycles.

Tafel plot and corrosion rate:
Corrtest potentiostat includes all the electrochemical techniques for corrosion measurement such as OCP, polarization curve (potentiodynamic), EIS, Cyclic polarization CPP (passivation curve), Electrochemical Potentiokinetic Reactivation (EPR), Hydrogen diffusion test, ZRA, Electrochemical noise, etc. It can be used to study metal corrosion mechanism and corrosion resistance, and evaluate the coating durability and sacrificial anode current efficiency. It can also be used for rapid screening of corrosion inhibitors, fungicides, etc.

Battery Test and analysis:
With techniques LSV, CV, galvanostatic charge and discharge (GCD), Constant potential/ current EIS, and precise IR compensation circuit, Corrtest potentiostats are widely used in supercapacitor, Li-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, fuel cell, Li-S batteries, solar cell, solid-state batteries, flow batteries, metal-air batteries etc. It is an excellent scientific tool for researchers in the fields of energy and materials.

EIS analysis: Bode, Nyquist, Mott-Schottky plot
During EIS data analysis, there is built-in fitting function to draw the custom equivalent circuit.

Real time saving of data: The data can be automatically saved even in case of sudden power off.
Combination test: it can facilitate the automation of experiments and save time. With the unique function of combination test, you can choose several techniques, and set the wait time, the start time, and the cycles. Choose the experiments you want to run. Then you can make auto measurement of the set experiments as you want without having to wait in the lab. This function is especially useful if you have multi experiments to run and save your time greatly.
Combination Test: corrosion tests
Combination Test: Pseudo capacitor tests
Data open: You can open the data files by txt format in notepad. Data can also be opened in Origin
TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES
1. Impedance (EIS)
CS310M EIS potentiostat applies correlation integral algorithm and dual-channel over-sampling technique, and has strong anti-interference ability. It is suitable for EIS measurements of high-impedance system (>109Ω, such as coating, concrete etc.). It can also be used to obtain Mott-Schottky curve and differential capacitance curve. During test, the software can display real-time open circuit potential (OCP) without entering.

2. Polarization curve
It can complete linear polarization curve and Tafel plot measurements. The user can set the anodic reversal current (passivation film breakdown current) of the cyclic polarization curve to determine material's pitting potential and protection potential and evaluate the its susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. The software employs non-linear fitting to analyze polarization curve, and can make fast evaluation of material's anti-corrosion ability and inhibitors.
