Multichannel Potentiostat/Galvanostat topologies

There is a multitude of scenarios that demand more than one channel of a potentio-/galvanostat. The reasons vary greatly – just to name a few typical settings:

• automating sequential multi-sensor probing over
• the need of scaling up experiments to more throughput via parallel experiments
• complex multi-electrode arrangements with need for specific synchronized control
• simultaneous comparison of a single or a set of test targets/sensors to a single or a group of reference sensors

As diverse as the reasons for using multichannel arrangements are the choices for solutions. In general, there are four basic approaches:

• multiple single-channel potentiostat / galvanostat
• multiplexing
• multi-potentio-/galvanostat
• poly-potentiostat

Combinations Multichannel Potentiostat / Galvanostat

All these topologies can be combined to match more complex application requirements. For example each channel of a multi-potentio-/galvanostat can be extended with a multiplexer. Also more sophisticated combinations of multi- and poly-potentiostat-topologies (several poly-potentiostats with several working electrodes each combined in one “multi-polypot”) are feasible.

What we can do for you

Sciospec’s extensive modular platform covers all these topologies and is flexible enough to combine almost any potentio-/galvanostat-requirement with any of them. Apart from our standard solutions the technology platform enables us to create cost effective fully custom solutions. Massive multichannel capabilities and extensive scalability are at the heart of our technology portfolio so whether you need just a few channels in a compact handheld form factor, want to address a newer before seen sensor topology with complex control demands or need to massively scale up a process to several thousand channels – Sciospec is up to the task.
If you have more questions or want to find out how to address your application´s requirements feel free to contact us.

Multi-Channel Potentiostats from Sciospec – Scalable Electrochemical Systems

Our potentiostat systems are built for demanding applications – from electrochemical research and cell characterization to biosensor platforms and process monitoring.

From single-channel experiments to fully automated multi-channel arrays: our platform architecture adapts to your setup – technically and structurally.

Fully Scalable – 1 to 500+ Channels

Our systems scale flexibly from compact single-channel solutions to large parallel systems with hundreds of channels. Whether you’re investigating microbial fuel cells, running battery diagnostics or designing custom test stands – we deliver tailored solutions for electrochemical complexity.

Impedance Spectroscopy – from the technology leader

Many potentiostats today offer EIS. At Sciospec, it’s part of our core. With deep expertise in impedance measurement, we provide fully integrated, broadband and high-resolution EIS functionality – ready for electrochemical and electrophysiological applications alike.

Built to Integrate – Down to the Cell

We know that the challenge is often not the potentiostat itself, but its integration into the experiment. That’s why we offer open interfaces, SC98 and ExtensionPort connectivity, and a comprehensive range of adapters – making it easy to connect your cell, microfluidic setup or array.

OEM-Ready for Series Integration

Whether for research, OEM or automation: our potentiostats are made to integrate. We offer scalable hardware, software stacks and APIs – from lab prototypes to commercial instrumentation.
