Extension module for the EmStat3 with 8 channels

PalmSens usually responds to your quotation request within one business day.

Description

The MUX8 multiplexer is meant for use with 2- or 3- electrode sensors or cells up to 8 channels. The MUX8 module allows to switch:

  • 8x WE, 8x RE, 8x CE
  • 8x WE, 8x RE+CE joint together
  • 8x WE with fixed RE and CE

The MUX8 can be mounted directly to the EmStat3 potentiostat module as shown below. Or it can be connected via short wires or flatcable.

Development

The MUX8 module can be mounted directly on the EmStat Development board. Connections to  different cells can be made using the screw terminals on the development board.

The available libraries for software development are also made compatible with the MUX8 module.


IMPORTANT REMARK

It is not possible to apply a potential simultaneously to more than one sensor or cell each with three electrodes. This requires a multipotentiostat, one potentiostat for each channel. This is however possible with two electrode sensors or cells, so when combined counter and reference electrodes are applied.

OCP with MUX8-R2 The multiplexer MUX8-R2 offers the possibility to record reliable Open Circuit Potential (OCP) measurements in the Alternating mode, which allows to monitor the OCP of multiple samples / working electrodes over time with a single potentiostat. This is a significant improvement compared to its predecessors MUX8 and MUX16. In this application note it is demonstrated how to setup and perform an OCP measurement with the MUX8-R2 in the Alternating mode. Application Note 04-05-21
