With the Best Solutions
in Electrochemical Applications
The Electrochemical Workstations ZENNIUM and IM6 have proven to be one of the most sophisticated, precise and versatile instruments in this field over many years. They are the basis equipment for a multitude of electrochemical investigation methods on batteries, accumulators and fuel cells as well as on high impedance objects. With its slots for hardware extensions the instruments can be extended to multi purpose data acquisition and control test stands.
ZENNIUM was developed using our 30 years of experience in producing high-precision electrochemical workstations of the high-end class. ZENNIUM provides a wider frequency range from 10 μHz to 4 MHz, an output current up to ±2.5 A and fast signal processing. Special measurement techniques guarantee an ultra high accuracy and a minimal interference with the test object.
ZENNIUM comes bundled with the outstanding Thales Z (zennium release) software package which offers all standard methods and more at a mouse click. This is why the ZENNIUM can easily be adapted to very different measurement requirements. Furthermore, with the manifold options available, the ZENNIUM is able to grow with its tasks:
- Compliance Voltage up to ±120 V (CVB120)
- Output Power up to ±40 A / ±20 V (PP-Series)
- Input Impedance up to 10 TΩ (HiZ Probe)
- Input Current up to 100 A (EL-Series)
High flexibility, high precision and high reliability are the basic elements which make the advanced concept of the IM6 unique!
Equipped with a programmable potentiostat, a pair of high precision amplifiers for current and potential, a flexible frequency generator/analyzer and four slots for additional input and output modules the IM6 is designed for nearly all measurement situations in the electrochemistry lab. Specially designed for spectrum analysis in the electrochemical field, the modular hardware concept of the IM6 allows you to configure the IM6 for applications far beyond impedance spectroscopy. With the appropriate hardware and software modules you can perform nearly all important data acquisition and analysis techniques which are required by electrochemical applications.
The Electrochemical Workstation IM6 has been developed with a background of 15 years of know-how in the field of impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical measurement techniques. It is based on the high end data acquisition system AMOS/ANDI and has therefore access to all its hardware and software modules. Very special, partially patented measurement and analysis techniques guarantee highest accuracy and minimal interference with the test object. The great number of different modes of acquisition and analysis as well as the unique upgrade concept make the IM6 an indispensable universal measurement tool in electrochemical laboratory.
