The Sensit Wearable supports most common electrochemical techniques, including Cyclic Voltammetry, Square Wave Voltammetry and Impedance Spectroscopy (FRA/EIS). The Sensit Wearable runs autonomously for hours up to weeks, executing a MethodSCRIPT while powered from a battery, and saving data to onboard storage. Control the Sensit Wearable wirelessly or with USB using the Android app PStouch (available on my.palmsens.com), or using our PC software PSTrace.

[1] The dynamic range is the range that can be covered during a single scan within the full potential range. For example; a linear scan can start at -1.5 V and end at 1.1 V or vice versa, covering 2.6 V dynamic range.
[2] The compliance voltage is the maximum potential between Working and Counter electrode and depends on the selected mode.
