VMP-3e Multichannel Potentiostat – BioLogic

Power, Performance and Precision in Multichannel Electrochemistry

The VMP-3e is a research-grade multichannel potentiostat/galvanostat with modular design, making it perfect for wide-ranging applications. The ability to connect each potentiostat to an external high-current booster channel makes it especially suitable for battery research and testing.

Advanced Current and Voltage Capabilities

A standard voltage range of ±10 V is extendable to -20 V to +20 V. The standard current of ± 1 A can be brought down to 20nA via modules that can be easily added in-situ by the user, enabling this multichannel potentiostat to grow with your needs.

High-End EIS Measurements

For high-end EIS measurements, a 1 MHz specification is complemented by BioLogic Quality Indicators, a feature previously only available on BioLogic Premium potentiostats. Quality Indicators enable scientists to quickly and efficiently validate their impedance measurements with three comprehensive indicators: Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Non-Stationary Distortion (NSD), and Noise to Signal Ratio (NSR).

Unique Features and Connectivity

Additional features include CE to GND mode, unique to BioLogic, which enables users to choose from independent channel or multi-electrode configurations and LAN connectivity to improve multi-user working. The VMP-3e is powered by EC-Lab®, the advanced, ergonomic software that has earned itself the reputation as a global benchmark for potentiostat control software.
