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:-

•Corrosion studies

•Battery research and fuel cells

•Solar cells

•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.

Noise free analysis

1260 uses Solartron Analytical’s

patented single-sine correlation

technique, which inherently removes

the noise and harmonic distortion

which plagues lesser instruments.

•Frequency resolution: 1 in 65

million (0.015ppm)

•0.1%, 0.1º accuracy - unsurpassed

by any similar instrument

•Resolution to 0.001dB, 0.01º -

capturing every detail

•Measures impedances >100MΩ

•2-, 3- and 4-terminal measurement

configurations

•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.

Impedance measurement

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.

The advantages of impedance

measurement over other techniques

include:-

•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

Stretching the limits of impedance testing

Solartron Analytical is a world leader in

instrumentation and software for the

characterization of materials and

electrochemical systems using

precision electrical measurement

techniques.

These techniques find particular use in

the fields of corrosion, battery and fuel

cell research, dielectric analysis and

electrochemistry. The product portfolio

includes industry standard frequency

response analyzers, potentiostats,

electrochemical software (Zplot and

CorrWare) and battery test equipment.

Arun Technology, an operating unit of

Solartron Analytical, provides a range of

metal analyzers using optical emission

techniques for determining elemental

content. The units in static laboratory

or mobile format are used in foundries,

steelworks, or scrapyards for metals

analysis or material identification.
