MCP 94 for standard-compliant electrochemical long-term tests
The MCP 94 is a modular multi-channel potentiostat and galvanostat for parallel tests with 2 to 40 channels. It is suitable for corrosion tests, CD tests, and electrochemical material analyses.
Modular Multi-channel Potentiostat for Corrosion Testing, CD Tests, and Material Analysis
The MCP 94 was developed for demanding electrochemical testing tasks in research, development, and industrial quality assurance. The system combines precise potentiostat and galvanostat technology with a modular design for parallel operation of multiple measurement channels.
Depending on the configuration, the MCP 94 operates with 2 to 40 channels. This makes it particularly suitable for long-term tests, test series with multiple cells, and applications where reproducible measurement results are required over longer testing periods.
Typical applications include corrosion tests, coating tests for cathodic disbondment, electrochemical material analyses, and the validation of electrode and sensor materials. The MCP 94 supports standard-compliant tests according to ASTM G8, ASTM G42, and DIN EN ISO 15711, among others.
