Highend Meets Compact

IM7c

The IM7c is a compact potentiostat / galvanostat including a frequency response analyser. It offers 32-bit DC resolution and 24-bit AC resolution across 12 different current ranges, which ensure exceptionally accurate and precise measurements.

The IM7c can either be operated by Zahner Lab or by the zahner_link API. The zahner_link libraries communicate with the IM7c via WebSocket connections, exchanging JSON objects. Built with a C++ core, the zahner-link also offers Python bindings for simplified programming.

The main specifications for the IM7c are
  • DC voltage ranges: ±5 V and ±14 V
  • Current up to ±2 A over 12 current ranges
  • EIS frequency range from 10 µHz to 5 MHz
  • Supported operating systems: Windows, Linux and macOS
  • Controllable by C++ and Python
