Bank Elektronik Potentiostats – Now available from PSL
Multi-channel potentiostats for research and industry
Since the 1950s, Bank Elektronik potentiostats have been synonymous with precision and reliability in electrochemical measurement technology. With the takeover of the product line by PSL Systemtechnik GmbH, this tradition is being continued with modern manufacturing, international support, and long-term availability.
From Bank Elektronik to PSL
After more than 70 years of successful market presence, Bank Elektronik has discontinued the development and manufacture of electrochemical measuring instruments. The established MCP 94 and MCP CaDis multi-channel potentiostats will now be continued by PSL Systemtechnik.
As an established manufacturer of precision laboratory measurement technology for oil and gas analysis, PSL Systemtechnik brings the technical expertise, manufacturing competence, and international perspective to further expand the field of electrochemical measurement technology.
