  EmStat4X

  The EmStat4X delivers high performance in a small footprint. The EmStat4X is a small battery and USB-powered Potentiostat, Galvanostat, and optional Frequency Response Analyser (FRA) for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS).

  The EmStat4X Low Range (LR) version is great for applications that require measuring low currents down to picoamps, like (bio)sensor research. The High Range (HR) version is very suitable for applications that need a maximum current of up to 200 mA. The EmStat4X is controlled with PSTrace for Windows, or you can write your own MethodSCRIPT and control it from any platform or operating system.

  The EmStat4X LR and HR features include:

  • Fast EIS support: for running fixed-frequency EIS measurements at a very low interval of around 1 ms.
  • Auxiliary Port: for connecting to a MUX8-R2 multiplexer, temperature sensor, pH sensor, stirrer control, triggering and more.
  • iR compensation: to compensate for the iR drop between the Reference electrode and the outside of the double layer of the electrochemical cell.
  • Bluetooth: for a wireless connection to a PC, smartphone or tablet
  • 11.1 Wh battery: for more than 8 hours of continuous measurements (typical with the LR).
  • Small borderless display: showing the state of the battery and connectivity.

  Two versions

  The EmStat4X comes in two different versions:

  • Low Range: for lower currents and potentials (±30 mA / ±3 V applied / ±5 V compliance)
  • High Range: for higher currents and potentials (±200 mA / ±6 V applied / ±8 V compliance)

  Both versions can be configured with optional EIS/FRA up to 200 kHz.
  See specifications for a detailed comparison between the LR and HR.

   

  Always a backup

  The EmStat4X is equipped with 500 MB internal storage memory for storing your measurements as a backup. All internally stored measurements can be browsed and transferred back to the PC easily using the PSTrace software for Windows. Your data is always with your instrument wherever you take it.

  A standard EmStat4X includes a rugged carrying case with:

  • EmStat4X LR or HR

  • Cell cable: high quality, double-shielded cable with 2 mm banana connectors for Working, Counter, Reference electrode and Ground, 1 meter long
  • 4 or 5 crocodile clips
  • Dummy Cell

  Also included:

  • PSTrace software for Windows (on USB drive)
  • Manual (hardcopy)
  • Quick Start (hardcopy)

  EmStat4 MUX (2-in-1: Potentiostat with integrated multiplexer)

  Gone are the days with too many cables. With the EmStat4 MUX you have a potentiostat and a multiplexer in one! The EmStat4 MUX is a powerful potentiostat, galvanostat and impedance analyzer and supports all popular electrochemical techniques. Its 8 channels allow for sequential measurements, for example eight Screen-printed electrodes, or eight working electrodes in eight different  cells.  The instrument’s measurements can be highly customized using MethodSCRIPT. The 4 different cell connections available allow for many different setups. When the measurements are finished, you can easily save your results in PSTrace, or export your results to Excel. 

   

  More information could be found tought link:

  https://www.palmsens.com/product/emstat4-mux/

   

  • Integrated 8-channel multiplexer
  • Supports 2-, 3- and 4-electrode setup using Sense Lead
  • Potential range: ± 3V 
  • Compliance voltage: ± 5V
  • Current ranges:  1 nA – 10 mA
  • Maximum current: ± 30 mA
  • FRA / EIS up to 200 kHz

  Two modes of operation

  • Consecutive mode: this mode switches channel when a complete measurement has finished
  • Alternate mode: this mode switches all activated channels within the specified time interval of a measurement.

  In both modes the unselected Working Electrodes can either be left floating or switched to Ground to keep the specified voltage.

  Supports a 2-, 3- or 4-electrode setup

  • Connect four electrodes per channel by using the Sense Leads. 
  • Or connect only three electrodes per channel by internally connecting all Sense electrodes to the Working Electodes in software.
  • Do you need to connect only two electrodes per channel? Combine the reference and counter electrode physically on the cable, or with a single click on the PSTrace software.

  

  8 to 128 channels

  Is 8 channels not enough? If more channels are required, one or more MUX-R2 can be stacked to the EmStat4 MUX for a total of up to 128 channels.

  Script your experiments!

  Via the script window of PSTrace it is possible to perform a different experiment on each of the channels sequentially. Alternatively, you can use MethodSCRIPT to fully customize your measurements per channel.

  Multichannel or Multiplexer?

  To make it easier for you to decide, if  a multiplexer or a multichannel device is more suitable for your application, we have created a short explanation of multiplexers and multichannels.

  Activation furnance for electrochemical sensors

  The activation furnance is a device used for curing individual sensors of the AC1 type. At a defined temperature (up to 1000 °C) depending on the electrode and sensor materials. When the sensor is cured, the surface of the electrodes is cleaned from surface oxides and organic impurities, which results in regeneration of the sensor or its activation. In this way, for example, old sensors with immobilized enzyme layers can be cured for reuse – see example at the end ot the document.

  USB Potentiostat Galvanoplot

  USB Potentiostat Galvanoplot is a super small, low-cost and affordable device suitable for dedicated volume applications, which is optimized for screen-printed sensor and biosensor applications. It can be used in many other research areas and with other electrochemical sensors, for corrosion measurement, battery and super-capacitors or fuel cells.

  It is capable of performing all common Amperometric and Voltammetric electrochemistry protocols (CA, LSV, CV, DPV, NPV, SVW, GAL) and can be used with three electrode (WE/RE/CE) and two electrode (WE/RE-CE) setups.
