Now new at PSL: Potentiostats & Galvanostats
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 now 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 ceased development and production of electrochemical measurement instruments. The proven multi-channel potentiostats MCP 94 and MCP CaDis will now be continued by PSL Systemtechnik.
As an established manufacturer of precise laboratory instrumentation for the oil and gas industry, PSL Systemtechnik contributes technical expertise, manufacturing competence, and an international perspective to expand the field of electrochemical measurement technology.
The Devices at a Glance
MCP 94 – The Modular Classic
- 2 to 40 channels, three performance levels (20, 100, 200 mA)
- Ideal for standardized corrosion and coating tests according to ASTM, DIN EN, ISO
- Modular design with optional data logger or Ethernet interface
- Typical applications: rebar testing, long-term corrosion tests, sensor technology
MCP CaDis – Specialist for CD Tests & Research
- Up to 40 channels, two performance levels (100, 200 mA)
- Complies with international standards: ISO 15711, ASTM G8/G42, CSA Z-245
- Integrated data logger, optional temperature measurement (PT 1000)
