EmStat Pico - Miniaturized, Calibrated and Embeddable Potentiostat Module

PalmSens' potentiostat and impedance analyzer greatly simplifies and accelerates electrochemical system development

Image of Palmsens' EmStat Pico ModulePalmSens' EmStat Pico is a proven standalone potentiostat and impedance analyzer module, enabling users to perform electrochemical measurements using an electrochemical sensor without having programming skills. Integrate this small dual-channel OEM module on a PCB without potentiostat knowledge thanks to the joint development by Analog Devices Inc. and PalmSens. The tested and calibrated modules are used by over 100+ OEM customers in over 30 countries. The EmStat Pico supports MethodSCRIPT™ which allows developers to program a human-readable script directly into the potentiostat module via serial (TTL) connection, saving development time.

The system has 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 features power-saving modes for use in battery-operated systems. The footprint is small while maintaining standard 2.54 mm (100 mil) connections along with castellations for ease-of-integration into prototype systems.
