Extensions

Probes

Equip your ZENNIUM XC potentiostat with dedicated accessories for your required experiments like high impedance measurements (up to GΩ), low impedance measurements (down to µΩ) or high voltage measurements (up to 100 V) etc.

HiZ-Probe
The HiZ-Probe is used to optimize measurements on high impedance test objects (Impedance > 1 GΩ) or extremely low currents. The HiZ-Probe measures currents directly next to the sample and amplifies the signal to overcome electrostatic noise. Typical applications are investigations on passive layers, oxides, nitrides, dielectric films, ceramic substrates, low conductive electrolytes, lacquers, coatings, and microelectrodes etc. inside a faraday cage.

LoZ-Cable
The LoZ-Cable (length = 2 m) is specially designed for low impedance measurements like for batteries and fuel cells. The symmetric geometry of the cables significantly reduces the influence of mutual induction.

FRA-Probe
The FRA-Probe enables the ZENNIUM series potentiostats to interface and modulate third-party devices. It adds an additional dimension for EIS measurements on e.g., high power devices like automotive size single fuel cell measurements or large fuel cells stacks.

Test stand integration

ZENNIUM XC potentiostat can be controlled remotely and can be involved in a Python, C++ or Labview test stand.

Zahner provides its own Python GitHub repository which describes the incorporation of ZENNIUM potentiostat and its extensions in the Python lab environment.
