Multi-Channel Potentiostats
8-channel multipotentiostats with either 30mA, 200mA or 5A and EIS per channel. 16A booster includes parallel operation to 128A
Modules from 30mA to 10Amps and up to 32 independent potentiostats in a single chassis. Each module can be operated in floating mode (galvanic isolation) via software selection.
32 Channel System. Each IviCycle comprises 4 x potentiostat modules each comprising 8 x 30mA or 200mA independent potentiostats with EIS.
With up to 10 PalmSens4 modules per mainframe this flexible system also offers optional galvanic isolation (floating operation) per channel.
Multi-channel potentiostat / galvanostat / impedance analyzer. Current ranges 1 nA to 100mA with max current to 200mA. EIS to 200kHz.
Multiplexed Solutions
Multiplexers are switches. A multiplexed solution switches a single potentiostat connections sequentially from cell-to-cell. (Sometimes so quickly that they can be considered “simultaneous” – and so have Polypotentiostat functionality – but with a known inter-channel time lag)
PalmSens’s EmstatMUX8-R2 USB-powered potentiostat with integrated multiplexer.
MUX8-R2 USB multiplexer only. May be used with a range of potentiostats from PalmSens.
PalmSens’s MUX16 This multiplexer allows the usage of a single PalmSens or EmStat Blue with up to 16 electrochemical cells, by switching between the different cells. A great way to raise efficiency

Ivium’s MultiWE32 controls up to 32 WE’s simultaneously vs 1 CE and 1 RE! Designed for low current applications such as nanotechnology sensor development, analytical electrochemistry, biotechnology and medical research.
Requires a compatible Ivium potentiostat.
