EmStat4S

The EmStat4S is a portable USB-powered Potentiostat, Galvanostat, and optional Frequency Response Analyser (FRA) for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and delivers desktop performance in the palm of your hand. The EmStat4S Low Range version is great for applications that require a low current range down to 1 nA, whereas the High Range version is very suitable for applications that need a maximum current of up to 200 mA. The EmStat4S is controlled with PSTrace for Windows, or you can write your own MethodSCRIPT and control it from any platform or operating system.
