Basic EPG system (2024 series) (prepayment discount price € 5900)

Basic EPG system. this includes all items needed to get started, except electrode wire*:

• Giga-8dd control unit (AD converter build-in)  1x
• EPG probe, pre-amplifier (see also note**)  8x
• Swivel clamp (to mount an EPG probe to the mounting rod)  8x
• Mounting rod (to mount 4 EPG probes)  2x (can be screwed to one rod)

Cabling:

• Micro USB cable (to power the Giga-8dd device and for data transmission)  1x
• Plant electrode  8 branches  1x
• Aligator clip grounding cable (for Faraday cage connection)   1x
• Brass pin test cable (see Giga-8dd manual)   1x

Wiring kit  (except electrode wire*)

• Insect electrode pin (brass, Ø 1.2mm)  30x
• Extension wire (copper, Ø 0.2mm) bunch  2x
• Electrode glue, water based (vial 2 ml, Ag 25%) 2x

* electrode wire

      Note: To complete the Basic EPG system add the proper wire to the quotation list manually ('separate consumables'). Choose the right diameter:

• Either:   - Coil 18 µm diameter (30m; for aphids and bigger insects) 1x
• or:         - Coil 12.5 µm diameter (30m; for smaller insects. e.g. whiteflies etc.) 1x

** Note: Since 2018 Giga-8dd has probes with a (remotely operated) switch from 'normal mode' (Ri=1GΩ) to 'emf mode' (Ri=10TΩ, see Measuring Systems). In emf mode plant potentials can also be measured accurately. The device can be operated in the field, and 1 up to 8 insects can be monitored per plant.

Other requirements such as Stereomicroscope, Vacuum device and Faraday cage are not provided by EPG systems: see downloads for construction hints).

Computer: Windows (XP, 7, 8, 10) or Mac with bootable Windows environment
