MultiEmStat
The MultiEmStat is a versatile multi potentiostat with 4, 8 or 12 independent EmStat potentiostats.
The channels can perform experiments independently of each other. A MultiEmStat channel is capable of the full range of techniques an EmStat can offer, i.e. (pulsed-) amperometric measurements as well as voltammetric measurements like linear sweep, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse and square wave voltammetry.
The MultiEmStat is conveniently connected by means of a single USB connection and controlled by MultiTrace. Each potentiostat has eight (EmStat3) or nine (EmStat3+) current ranges: 1 nA to 10 mA/100 mA with a resolution of 1 pA at the lowest current range and can automatically select the optimal current range.
Specifications
MultiEmStat3 is available as four channel in the small housing and 8 and 12 channel in the larger housing.
MultiEmStat3+ is available as 4, 8 or 12 channel and always comes in the larger housing.
