Squidstat User Interface and API Updates

We’re pleased to announce the latest software update for Squidstat users. In addition to long term experiment stability, below are some of the many improvements included in this release:

1. You can now reorder core CSV columns in the CSV File Customizer. Arrange your exports exactly how you prefer.

2. Six new Cumulative Charge-type headers have been added. 

3. The Log Messages menu under More Options has been renamed “Technical Support Tools”. Same features. Clearer name.

4. You can filter plots by Charge/Discharge and Cyclic Voltammetry cycle numbers. Faster analysis / fewer clicks. 

5. You can now run the Squidstat API from a Raspberry Pi.

Squidstat Scientific Spotlight Series

This month’s featured work explores how Md Zawad Hossain and researchers at Wichita State University used the Squidstat Plus and Squidstat Prime potentiostats to study temperature effects (15 °C, 25 °C, 45 °C) on NbSe₂ for next-generation SIBs and PIBs, analyzing electrochemical activity, ion transport, and storage mechanisms.

Are you using Squidstat instruments in your research? If so, we would love to showcase your work to our audience of thousands of electrochemistry professionals. This free opportunity only takes about 5 minutes to submit.
