IPS Elektroniklabor GmbH & Co. KG

IPS Elektroniklabor GmbH & Co. KG is a German medium-sized manufacturer of electrochemical measuring instruments based in Münster. The company builds potentiostats and galvanostats, measuring cells, rotating electrodes and related accessories, and it also develops customized system solutions for hydrogen research, including test benches for hydrogen embrittlement. Its products are aimed primarily at research and development laboratories working on corrosion science, materials testing and hydrogen technology. The business traces its origins to 1961, when Alfred Jaissle began manufacturing semiconductor-based potentiostats. The first collaboration between Jaissle Elektronik and IPS took place in 1990, and in 2000 IPS took over the business activities of Jaissle Elektronik GmbH when Alfred Jaissle retired. In 2014 the company adopted its current name, IPS Elektroniklabor GmbH & Co. KG. Also in 2014 it received its first order to build a hydrogen test bench, marking the start of its work in the hydrogen sector. IPS positions itself as a quality-focused, flexible supplier. It states that its devices run reliably for decades and are regularly maintained and upgraded, that it selects carefully tested components and tests each device extensively, and that its quality management system underpins these processes. The company emphasizes that its products are not mass-produced but individually built, and it highlights sustainability measures such as a photovoltaic system with battery storage. In August 2025 it obtained ISO 9001 certification covering the development and manufacturing of potentiostats/galvanostats, corrosion measuring cells, electrodes and accessories, as well as systems for testing components under hydrogen atmospheres. The company serves the German market and beyond, and in 2026 it began offering eDAQ's measuring cells for solid and liquid electrolytes for battery research in Germany. It also announced its listing on the ElectroSeek platform, a marketplace for electrochemical measuring instruments. IPS presents itself at scientific events such as GDCh Electrochemistry and the Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Hamburg.

The origins of IPS Elektroniklabor lie in 1961, when Alfred Jaissle began manufacturing semiconductor-based potentiostats. This early activity formed the basis of Jaissle Elektronik, a business that would later become part of IPS. For decades the Jaissle name was associated with electrochemical instrumentation in Germany. In 1990 the first collaboration between Jaissle Elektronik and IPS took place. A decade later, in 2000, Alfred Jaissle retired and IPS took over the business activities of Jaissle Elektronik GmbH. This acquisition consolidated the potentiostat and electrochemical measurement business under IPS. In 2014 the company changed its name to IPS Elektroniklabor GmbH & Co. KG. In the same year, on 1 July 2014, IPS received its first order to build a hydrogen test bench, which marked the beginning of its work in the hydrogen sector. This diversification into hydrogen technology built on the company's existing expertise in electrochemical measurement and corrosion research. On 18 August 2025, IPS obtained ISO 9001 certification. The certified scope covers the development and manufacturing of potentiostats/galvanostats, corrosion measuring cells, electrodes and accessories for experiments and analyses in corrosion research, as well as systems for testing components under hydrogen atmospheres. This certification formalized the company's long-standing emphasis on quality management. In 2026 the company expanded its offering by beginning to distribute eDAQ's measuring cells for solid and liquid electrolytes for battery research in Germany, and it announced its listing on the ElectroSeek marketplace for electrochemical measuring instruments. IPS continues to present its products at scientific conferences and trade fairs, including GDCh Electrochemistry 2026 in Bayreuth and the Hydrogen Technology World Expo in Hamburg.
