PalmSens usually responds to your quotation request within one business day.
Description
The PalmSens series and EmStat Blue can be used to work with multiple working electrodes or a sensor array by means of a multiplexer. The multiplexer switches between the working electrodes in the range of milliseconds. This MUX8-R2 extension set, adds an additional 8 cells to your multiplexer.
- each MUX8-R2 multiplexer enables to work with up to eight 2- or 3- electrode systems.
- daisy chaining multiple MUX8-R2 boards (expansion up to 128 channels)
- all hardware settings are controlled by the software making it unnecessary to flick a physical switch
- LEDs to show which channel is selected
- allows to connect auxiliary input (like temperature sensor)
Connection
The most selected connection option uses two double shielded D-Sub cables ending in 2 mm banana plugs. As alternatives we can provide a PCB with screw terminals, D-Sub cable ending in ferrules or Screen Printed Electrode Adapter. Each of these cables can be connected to 4 channels, if all 8 channels are used, two cables are needed.

The MUX8-R2 has the following connections:
| Connector | Function |
|---|---|
| Input | Y-cable connects to both potentiostat sensor connector and (digital) AUX |
| AUX | Can be used to measure auxiliary input like temperature or pH, and to switch external hardware using two digital control lines that can be set in PSTrace |
| Link | Connects to Input of next multiplexer, for daisy-chaining multiple multiplexers |
| USB-C | Input for extra power when ≥3 multiplexers are daisy-chained |
| Channel 1-4 | Connects to sensor cables 1-4 |
| Channel 5-8 | Connects to sensor cables 5-8 |
