PalmSens has developed EmStat Pico, a proven standalone potentiostat and impedance analyzer module that greatly simplifies and accelerates the development of electrochemical systems. This module allows users to perform electrochemical measurements using an electrochemical sensor without requiring programming skills.
The EmStat Pico features two potentiostat circuits that can be used simultaneously in low-speed mode (up to 100 Hz) and high-speed mode (up to 200 kHz), which can be applied to each channel alternately. The system also includes power-saving modes for use in battery-operated systems.
Thanks to the joint development by Analog Devices Inc. and PalmSens, the small dual-channel OEM module can be easily integrated onto a PCB even without potentiostat knowledge. The tested and calibrated modules are used by over 100+ OEM customers in over 30 countries, demonstrating their reliability and effectiveness.
One key feature of the EmStat Pico is its support for MethodSCRIPT™, which allows developers to program a human-readable script directly into the potentiostat module via serial (TTL) connection. This saves development time by eliminating the need for a separate computer interface, and enables developers to quickly test and optimize their electrochemical systems.
Despite its small size, the EmStat Pico maintains standard 2.54 mm (100 mil) connections along with castellations for ease-of-integration into prototype systems.
In summary, PalmSens' EmStat Pico offers a powerful and reliable solution for accelerating electrochemical system development. With its standalone potentiostat and impedance analyzer module, support for direct programming via MethodSCRIPT™, and small form factor, this solution simplifies electrochemical measurements and saves development time for users.
