Stretching the limits of impedance testing

1260
Impedance/gain-phase Analyzer

The 1260 Impedance/gain-phase
Analyzer is - without doubt - the most
powerful, accurate and flexible
Frequency Response Analyzer
available today.
In daily use by leading researchers
wherever measurement integrity and
experimental reliability are of
paramount importance, 1260’s solid
reputation is frequently endorsed in
published research papers in fields
such as:-

Noise free analysis

Impedance measurement

1260 uses Solartron Analytical’s
patented single-sine correlation
technique, which inherently removes
the noise and harmonic distortion
which plagues lesser instruments.

Virtually every liquid and solid is able
to pass current when a voltage is
applied to it. If a variable (ac) voltage
is applied to the material, the ratio of
voltage to current is known as the
impedance. The measured impedance
varies with the frequency of the
applied voltage in a way that is related
to the properties of the liquid or solid.
This may be due to the physical
structure of the material, to chemical
processes within it or a combination
of both.

• Frequency resolution: 1 in 65
million (0.015ppm)
• 0.1%, 0.1º accuracy - unsurpassed
by any similar instrument

• Corrosion studies

• Resolution to 0.001dB, 0.01º capturing every detail

• Battery research and fuel cells

• Measures impedances >100MΩ

• Solar cells

• 2-, 3- and 4-terminal measurement
configurations

• LCDs
• Bio-materials
• Ceramics / composites
• Electronic component development
• Civil engineering
Part of Solartron Analytical’s extensive
range of precision products designed to
provide cost effective solutions for dc
and ac analysis in electrochemical and
materials research, 1260 offers an
outstanding measurement specification
for impedance spectroscopy:
Huge frequency range
Spanning 10µHz to 32MHz with
0.015ppm resolution, 1260 provides
excellent coverage for virtually all
chemical and molecular mechanisms all in a single instrument.
Unbeatable accuracy
With an accuracy of 0.1%, 0.1º,
measurements can be made with
complete confidence, and even the
most subtle changes in sample
behavior detected and quantized.

The advantages of impedance
measurement over other techniques
include:-

• Polarization voltage up to ±40.95V
• Renowned ZPlot software package
simplifies experiments and optimises
throughput
Systems
When combined with other products
from Solartron Analytical’s range,
including well-proven application
software, 1260 can form the heart of
an advanced electrochemical and
materials measurement system, to
provide superb accuracy, flexibility and
reliability - even for the most complex
research problems.

• Rapid aquisition of data
• Accurate, repeatable measurements
• Non-destructive
• Highly adaptable to a wide variety of
different applications.
• Ability to differentiate effects due to
electrodes, diffusion, mass/charge
transfer by analysis over
different frequency ranges
• Equivalent circuit/modelling
techniques for detailed analysis of
results
