MUX8-R2 Multiplexer

Multiplexer for 8 up to 128 cells

  • Automatically switch between electrochemical cells
  • Easy stacking with magnetic feet and top
  • 4 different electrode or sensor configurations
  • Daisy chain multiplexers, up to 128 channels!

The PalmSens series and the EmStat4X can be used to work with multiple working electrodes or a sensor array by means of a multiplexer.

 

The multiplexer switches between the working electrodes in the range of milliseconds.

  • each MUX8-R2 multiplexer enables to work with up to eight 2- or 3- electrode systems.
  • daisy chaining multiple MUX8-R2 boards (expansion up to 128 channels)
  • all hardware settings are controlled by the software making it unnecessary to flick a physical switch
  • LEDs to show which channel is selected
  • allows to connect auxiliary input (like temperature sensor)

Connection options

The most selected connection option uses two double shielded D-Sub cables ending in 2 mm banana plugs. As alternatives we can provide a PCB with screw terminals, D-Sub cable ending in ferrules or Screen Printed Electrode Adapter. Each of these cables can be connected to 4 channels, if all 8 channels are used, two cables are needed.

  • Hanging Platinum Drop Electrode

    The Hanging Platinum Drop Electrode (HPDE) is solid phase alanogy of HMDE.

     

    The drop of liquid Pt at 2000 °C forms a drop of Pt. The surface of HPDE has nearly ideal surface which is impossible to obtain using polishing. HPDE has also spherical symmetry which enables mathematical treatment of its response.
    The material is not toxic and it is chemically stable. The only disadvantage is HPDE cleaning, which can be, however, in some cases solved by carefull insertion of the electrode tip to the flame of an alcohol burner.
    Thus HPDE can be used as reference electrode for complicated electrochemical studies, where it is necessary to distinguish the analytical signal from the signal generated by surface inhomogenities.

     

    Hanging platinum drop electrode (HPDE) is designed for measurements with thermostated cell TC4, TC5, TC6 and TC9.

  • MultiPalmSens4

    Multi-channel Potentiostat / Galvanostat / Impedance Analyzer

    • 4 to 10 channels available in different configurations
    • FRA / EIS: 10 μHz up to  1 MHz
    • 9 current ranges: 100 pA to 10 mA
    • potential range: ±5 V or  ±10 V

     

    The MultiPalmSens4 is a flexible multi-channel potentiostat, galvanostat and impedance analyzer which you can fully tailor to your requirements and budget. The MultiTrace software allows for using each channel individually or simultaneously or running a sequence of automated tasks on each channel. Each channel provides an additional auxiliary port for controlling peripherals or monitoring temperature or other analog signals.

     

    More information can be found through the link: https://www.palmsens.com/product/multipalmsens4/

     

    Configure your ideal multi-channel potentiostat

    Each channel can be configured with:

    • ±5 V or ±10 V maximum potential range
    • EIS/FRA with maximum frequency of 100 kHz or 1 MHz
    • Bipotentiostat module for second WE
    • iR-Compensation
    • Galvanic isolation

     

    Always a backup

    Every channel of the MultiPalmSens4 is equipped with 8 GB storage space. This means all your measurements* can automatically be saved on-board as backup.
    Measurements can be browsed and transferred to the PC easily using the MultiTrace software for Windows.

     

    Synchronizing channels in Synched mode

    By enabling synchronization of channels and adjusting the setup of your cables, you can use the MultiPalmSens4 as a polypotentiostat. This means you can use multiple working electrodes, one counter and one reference electrode in the same cell at the same time. Your working electrodes all perform the same measurement.
