RackMount 16CH

Description

High-Throughput Networked Electrochemical Analyzer

The RackMount 16CH is a high-performance 16-channel potentiostat built on the industry-proven EmStat4 LR platform. Engineered for high-throughput electrochemical research, it delivers precise, simultaneous measurements across all channels without compromise. Equipped with an embedded Lablink controller, the RackMount 16CH manages, buffers, and stores every data point locally.

Connect electrochemical cells or disposable electrodes 16 independent channels

Each quad-cell connector interfaces with four independent electrochemical cells. Every channel features its own dedicated potentiostat with discrete Reference Electrode, Working Electrode, Counter Electrode, and ground connections for total isolation and control. Galvanic Isolation across the channels and hardware synchronization allow for using multiple Working Electrodes in the same cell.

Sharing, buffering and storage Embedded Lablink controller

The RackMount 16CH, powered by Lablink, controls your measurements internally and logs them directly to its onboard Solid State Drive (SSD).

Independent Operation: Experiments run flawlessly without a PC connection.
Internal Logging: Data is saved locally, eliminating the risk from software interruptions.
Seamless Recovery: Simply reconnect to review and download your secured results

Status information at a glance Status indicators and display

Each channel of the RackMount 16CH has a status indicator LED, showing if channels are available or claimed by users or if a measurement is running. The RackMount 16CH display shows Lablink-related status information and the fan speed.

Instant-start sensing Automatic droplet detection

Optimized for Screen-Printed Electrodes (SPEs), each channel can be configured via software to trigger measurements automatically upon droplet detection. This minimizes the delay between sample deposition and data acquisition, ensuring you capture the most time-sensitive electrochemical responses. It can also help streamline high-throughput workflows.

Efficient wiring Adapter with shared Reference and Counter electrodes

Every RackMount 16CH includes four cell-connector adapters as standard. These DB25 interfaces internally bridge the Reference (RE) and Counter (CE) electrodes for each four-channel bank, eliminating the need to manually stack leads at the cell.

PSTrace Xpress for Windows

The RackMount 16CH comes with PSTrace Xpress for Windows. PSTrace Xpress is designed to simplify the handling of multiple measurements, and it gives you greater flexibility and control over your experiments. PSTrace Xpress allows the instrument to be controlled via your Local Area Network (LAN) via the built-in Lablink. More information about PSTrace

MethodSCRIPT™ communications protocol

The RackMount 16CH works with MethodSCRIPT™, giving you full control over your potentiostat channels. The simple script language is parsed on-board, which means no DLLs or other type of code libraries are required. MethodSCRIPT™ allows for running all supported electrochemical techniques, making it easy to combine different measurements and other tasks. MethodSCRIPT can be generated, edited, and executed in PSTrace Xpress with a future software update. MethodSCRIPT features includes:

(Nested) loops and conditional logic support
User code during a measurement iteration
Exact timing control
Simple math operations on variables (add, sub, mul, div)
Data smoothing and peak detection
Digital I/O, for example for waiting for an external trigger
Logging results to internal storage or external SD card
Reading auxiliary values like pH or temperature
and many more…

More information about MethodSCRIPT There are four sensor connection options available, each supporting connection to four channels.

Option A (recommended): Double shielded sensor cables with 2 mm banana connectors, compatible with standard croc clips. We include a set of croc clips for your convenience.
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.
