Description
PARSTAT MC Multichannel Potentiostat
The PARSTAT MC (PMC) Family consists of the PARSTAT MC Chassis and several models of potentiostats: PMC-1000, PMC-2000A, PMC-200. This series of potentiostats is defined by offering superior performance as standard. These models complement each other. Both of these single channel potentiostats operate in VersaStudio software with all techniques available, including Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy up to high frequency.
☑️ The PMC-1000 provides high current and wide dynamic current range.
☑️ The PMC-2000A provides 6-WIRE measurement and high polarization voltage.
☑️ The PMC-200 provides high-throughput with 2 potentiostats per module and high-resolution.
Highlights
