Description
The Sensit Wearable reduces the time-to-market for new electrochemistry-based wearable sensors. Wearable, flexible electrochemical sensors, for instance integrated on the epidermis, can be used to measure non-invasively metabolites and electrolytes for various biomedical applications.
Imagine applications like:
- Continuous Glucose Monitoring
- Sweat analysis for athletes
- Moleculair biomarkers
The Sensit Wearable supports most common electrochemical techniques, including Cyclic Voltammetry, Square Wave Voltammetry and Impedance Spectroscopy (FRA/EIS). The Sensit Wearable runs autonomously for hours up to weeks, executing a MethodSCRIPT while powered from a battery, and saving data to onboard storage. Control the Sensit Wearable wirelessly or with USB using the Android app PStouch, or using our PC software PSTrace.

| [1] The dynamic range is the range that can be covered during a single scan within the full potential range. For example; a linear scan can start at -1.5 V and end at 1.1 V or vice versa, covering 2.6 V dynamic range. [2] The compliance voltage is the maximum potential between Working and Counter electrode and depends on the selected mode.
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
