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.

  • 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.

  • EmStatMUX8-R2

    USB powered potentiostat with integrated multiplexer

    • potentiostat with integrated 8 channel multiplexer
    • potential range: ± 3V or ± 4V
    • compliance voltage: ± 5V or ± 8V
    • current ranges:  1 nA – 100 mA
    • maximum current: ± 100 mA

     

    With the EmStat3MUX8-R2 you can connect arrays or other setups made of up to eight working electrodes in two or three electrode cell types. If more channels are required, one or more MUX-R2 can be stacked to the EmStatMUX8-R2 for a total of up to 128 channels.

     

    The potentiostat is controlled as well as powered by USB and is used with PSTrace. The MUX8-R2 can sample different cells at a rate of 25 ms/cell. Usually a method needs to be finished to switch the cell but the fast sampling per cell makes it possible to measure time depending techniques, e.g. chronoamperometry, practically simultaneously. Via the script window of PSTrace it is also possible to perform a different experiment on each of the channels sequentially.

    Cell connections

    There are four ways to connect your sensor. These sensor connections are quoted separately. 

    • Option A: Double shielded sensor cables with 2 mm banana connectors. The 2 mm banana connectors are compatible with standard croc clips (they will be included in the quotation as optional).
    • Option B: High-density cable that terminates in ferrules
    • Option C: Connection (Screw) Terminal  to assemble your own wires.
    • Option D: Screen Printed Electrode Connector

    Each of these connection options can be used to connect 4 channels. When you add the EmStatMUX8 in the quotation basket we will make sure to include two units of the selected connection option so you can connect all 8 channels to the electrochemical cells.

  • EmStat4T (Tailored electrochemistry through touch-controlled apps)

    The EmStat4T is a programmable handheld potentiostat with a touchscreen, which is ideal for sensor research and sensor-based applications. It offers two main modes of operation:

     

    1. Remote Control: where it functions as a conventional potentiostat, controlled directly by our PSTrace software for Windows or PStouch app for Android. These applications allow you to run measurements, view results, and perform data analysis.

     

    1. Standalone: where the instrument is controlled via its touch interface to run a wizard‑style app for electrochemical analysis. Compose custom apps easily using the Visual MethodSCRIPT Editor included in PSTrace for Windows. Apps eliminate the need for a computer, tablet, or smartphone. This makes the EmStat4T an ideal solution for point-of-care applications and field research such as environmental analysis or corrosion monitoring.
