8/16-Channel Potentiostat for High Resolution Data Logger
The device consists of a combination of an multi-channel potentiostat/converter (BVT Technologies) and an external USB Pico ADC high resolution data logger (Pico Technology).
The data logger can be supplied in two versions: ADC-20 (20 bits, 8 channels) or ADC-24 (24 bits, 16 channels). For detailed specifications, see the attachment at the end of the document. The device allows measurements from up to 8 or from up to 16 independent channels. The basic output signal is a voltage in the range of -2.5 to 2.5 V. All channels are programmable (the output can be concentration, temperature, pressure…).
After connecting the device to a PC with Pico Technology’s Picolog 6 measurement program installed, the voltage [V] can be processed using math channels and directly recorded in real time as temperature, current, resistance, frequency, % and pressure, see measurement example at the end of the document.
For temperature measurement, the device is compatible with resistance thermometers (Ni 1000, Ni 5000, Pt 1000. Power is provided via USB-B, the maximum electrical consumption of the device is 500 mA.
Device Usage
- Temperature measurement with different temperature sensor (resistance thermometers Ni 1000, ni 5000, Pt 1000)
- Voltage measurement
- Conductivity and resistance measurement
- Amperometry measurement

SIRE Sensor Cell Set (Sensor with Injectable Recognition Element)
Read moreThe SIRE Sensor Cell Set consists of a sensor with an integrated non-removable specialised chamber.
The set also contains a syringe which will allow the injection of the recognition element (Enzyme).
The SIRE Sensor Cell uses the concept of soluble enzymes into a reaction chamber separated from the sample by a semi permeable dialysis membrane. The analyte (for example maltose), enters into the reaction chamber by diffusion. The analyte reacts with the recognition enzymes creating H2O2 which is oxidized on a screen printed Pt electrode. The current corresponds to the amount of analyte.* For this product, we recommend our customers use the Training Service from BVT.
