Description
Exchangeable sensor interface module

The EmStat Go is a battery powered*, handheld potentiostat which consists of a base unit and a customer-specific Sensor Extension module. The extension module can be equipped with one or more sensor connectors, temperature sensor, or other interface units you require for your sensor application. The instrument’s body is made from solid anodized aluminum with an optional rugged sleeve.
Drop Detection
The EmStat Go can be equipped with automatic drop detection to have a PC or mobile app start the measurement automatically as soon as the droplet is present.
Optional battery for connecting via Bluetooth
A battery compartment for replaceable Li-Ion battery is optional. A fully charged battery allows the EmStat Go to run >6h of continuous measurements.

EmStat Pico |
dc-potential range
The maximum potential difference, that can be applied between WE and RE.
|
±3 V | ±3 V | -1.7 to +2 V |
compliance voltage
The compliance voltage is the maximum voltage that can be applied between the working and counter electrode. Another name could be the maximum cell potential. Continue reading
|
±5 V | ±5 V | -2.0 to +2.3 V |
measured dc-potential resolution | 0.1 mV | 4.8 µV | 0.280 mV |
current ranges
The current range will define the minimum and maximum current a potentiostat can measure, this means it will also determine the resolution, because the number of bits or rather states is fixed, while the current range is variable.
|
1 nA to 10 mA | 1 nA to 10 mA | 100 nA to 5 mA |
maximum current | ± 20 mA | ± 30 mA | ± 3 mA |
EIS capable | NO | YES | YES |
Supports MethodSCRIPT | NO | YES | YES |
Software Development
Develop software for PC, smartphone or microcontroller
Whether you want to write a simple or advanced Windows application, develop an Android or iPhone app or integrate an EmStat potentiostat module in your own hardware, you can do it with our software development tools and code examples.
The EmStat potentiostat modules are controlled directly with our PSTrace software for Windows (all modules) and PStouch app for Android (EmStat3 and Pico only).

Software Development Kits for .NET
The PalmSens Software Development Kits (SDKs) for .NET can be used with any of our instruments or OEM potentiostat modules to develop your own software. The SDK’s come with a set of examples that shows how to use the libraries.
PalmSens SDKs with examples are available for the following .NET Frameworks:
- WinForms
- WPF
- Xamarin (for Android)
- UWP

MethodSCRIPT™ communications protocol
The EmStat4 and Pico potentiostat modules have an on-board parser for the MethodSCRIPT™ scripting language. This language allows developers to program a human-readable script for the EmStat4 and EmStat Pico modules on any platform or operating system. The simple script language allows for running electrochemical techniques and makes it easy to combine different measurements and other tasks.
