Description
The Sensit Smart is the world smallest ready-to-go potentiostat available on the market. The Sensit Smart is designed for use with Screen Printed Electrodes and is available in a re-branded housing for OEM purposes. The Sensit Smart is built around the proven and calibrated EmStat Pico module, which is a joint development by Analog Devices and PalmSens.
The Sensit Smart can be directly inserted in a smartphone or tablet and controlled via the app PStouch. You can use the USB-C Female to USB-A cable to connect the Sensit Smart to a classic USB port on your PC and control the Sensit Smart via our PC software PSTrace.
It is easy to develop your own smartphone app or PC software for Sensit Smart.
The Sensit Smart supports most common electrochemical techniques, including
Cyclic Voltammetry, Square Wave Voltammetry and Impedance Spectroscopy (FRA/EIS).
The Sensit Smart comes standard with below items, for the Sensit Smart for OEM these items are optional:
- Dummy Cell (SPE version)
- SPE to screw-terminal adapter
- USB-C Female to USB-A cable
- USB-C Female to Micro USB adapter
- USB-C Extension cable
- USB-C port protector
- PSTrace software for Windows (activation code for my.palmsens.com)
- PStouch app for Android (find it in the Google Play Store)
Specifications
- FRA / EIS up to 200 kHz
- Potential range -1.7 to +2 V
- Current ranges 100 nA – 5 mA (max ±3 mA)

Software Development
Develop software for PC and smartphone
Whether you want to write a simple or advanced Windows application, develop an Android or iPhone app you can do it with our software development tools and code examples.
The Sensit BT and Sensit Smart can also be controlled directly with our PSTrace software for Windows and PStouch app for Android.
Software Development Kits for .NET
The PalmSens Software Development Kits (SDKs) for .NET can be used with any of our instruments or OEM potentiostat modules to develop your own software. The SDK’s come with a set of examples that shows how to use the libraries.
PalmSens SDKs with examples are available for the following .NET Frameworks:
- WinForms
- WPF
- Xamarin (for Android)
- UWP
MethodSCRIPT™ communications protocol
The Sensit Series have an on-board parser for the MethodSCRIPT™ scripting language. This language allows developers to program a human-readable script for the Sensit Series on any platform or operating system. The simple script language allows for running electrochemical techniques supported by the Sensit Series and makes it easy to combine different measurements and other tasks.
Compatibility
My sensor fits the connector.
The required electrochemical technique for my application is supported.
The analyte conductivity does not require a compliance voltage of 2/2.3 V.
