The MultiEmStat4 is a compact Potentiostat, Galvanostat, and optional Frequency Response Analyser (FRA) for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) with 4, 8 or 12 channels. The MultiEmStat4 comes in two versions; the version which is great for applications that require measuring low currents down to picoamps, and the , which is very suitable for applications that need a maximum current of up to 200 mA. The following table shows the main differences: WE, RE, CE, and ground, 2 mm banana plugs WE, RE, CE, S(ense), and ground, 2 mm banana plugs The MultiEmStat4 is equipped with 500 MB...

The MultiEmStat4 supports the following electrochemical techniques. By enabling synchronization of channels and adjusting the setup of your cables, you can use the MultiEmStat4 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 exact same measurement. Techniques marked with an can be used in Synched mode. Linear Sweep Voltammetry Cyclic Voltammetry Differential Pulse Voltammetry Square Wave Voltammetry Normal Pulse Voltammetry These methods can all be...

Note The accuracy contour plots were determined with an ac-amplitude of ≤10 mV rms for all limits, except for the high impedance limit, which was determined using an ac-amplitude of 250 mV. The standard 1 meter cell cables were used. Please note that the true limits of an impedance measurement are influenced by all components in the system, e.g. connections, the environment, and the cell.

The MultiEmStat4 comes with MultiTrace for Windows. MultiTrace allows the instrument to be controlled in two different modes: Individual and Simultaneous channel control mode. This mode can be selected in the start-up window of MultiTrace. Individual Mode: where each channel can run a measurement or script independently from the other channels. Simultaneous Mode: where all channels run the same measurement. The individual mode gives an overview of all channels. Each channel can be selected separately and can run a measurement independently in parallel with other channels. You can also run a...

The Individual mode of MultiTrace also supports the option to run a sequence of measurements on a specific channel by using Scripting. Such a sequence can include different techniques and provides control commands for manual cell control or digital input or output lines. In the Simultaneous Mode the MultiEmStat4 works with all channels running the same measurement in parallel at the same time. There is only one active method in the Method Editor which is started on all channels simultaneously upon start. All results are presented as overlays in the same plot. This panel in the main screen...

MultiTrace supports all instruments provided by PalmSens BV. A collection of different instruments can be combined for control by MultiTrace in both Individual and Simultaneous mode. Either multiple multi-channel or single-channel instruments can be combined. The intuitive script editor allows for easily creating a sequence of measurements or other tasks, by means of dragging and dropping actions in a list.

Develop your own application in no time for use with any PalmSens instrument or potentiostat (module). Our SDKs are free of charge. There are three PalmSens Software Development Kits (SDKs) for .NET. Each SDK can be used with any of our instruments or OEM potentiostat modules to develop your own software. The SDK’s come with a set of examples that shows how to use the libraries. PalmSens SDKs with examples are available for the following .NET Frameworks: ▪ ▪ ▪ WinForms Xamarin (Android) WPF Each SDK comes with code examples for: ▪ Connecting ▪ Running measurements and plotting data ▪ Manual...

The MethodSCRIPT™ scripting language is designed to integrate our instruments and potentiostat (modules) effortlessly in your hardware setup, product, or experiment. MethodSCRIPT™ gives you full control over your potentiostat. The simple script language is parsed on-board the instrument and allows for running all supported electrochemical techniques, making it easy to combine different measurements and other tasks. MethodSCRIPT features include: ▪ Use of variables ▪ (Nested) loops and conditional logic support ▪ User code during a measurement iteration ▪ Exact timing control ▪ Simple math...
