Materials Test Systems
Ametek Scientific Instruments (Ametek SI)
An impedance analyzer is a device that uses a programmable AC voltage / current source, together with voltage and current measurement circuits, to characterize sample impedance over a wide range of frequency. An example of this being the world famous Solartron Analytical 1260A Impedance Analyzer that provides EIS impedance characterization over more than 12 decades of frequency from uHz to tens of MHz. Impedance Analysis characterization is a key technology that enables new materials development for semiconductors, smart-materials, ferroelectrics, piezo-electrics, solid oxide, solid electrolytes, ceramics, polymers, OLED and many more materials.

Materials Lab XM
The Materials Lab XM product provides a fully integrated reference grade time domain and AC measurement platform. No need to switch sample connections between techniques. Time domain measurements include I-V (current voltage) characterization as well as fast pulse techniques. AC testing techniques include everything from single-sine analysis, to multisine / Fast Fourier Transform for faster low frequency analysis, to harmonics and intermodulation for testing linearity and breakdown of materials. Measurements of electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), admittance, permittivity and capacitance are all provided from the XM-studio MTS software platform, together with integrated equivalent circuit analysis functionality.

Dielectric Interface System
1296A
Analyzing low conductivity, low loss materials stretches the capabilities of even the best impedance analyzers. Used alone, they lack the sensitivity required for accurate measurements, especially at low frequencies.

LHe/LN2 Cryostat System
129610A
Liquid nitrogen (LN2) or liquid helium (LHe) can be used as the cryogen depending on the required operating temperature range. This allows standard tests to be performed using relatively low cost LN2 as the cryogen. Higher cost LHe can be substituted for the duration of tests where very low temperature is required, providing an economical solution to your test requirements.

Room Temperature Sample Holders
12962A
The 12962A sample holder is designed to allow accurate impedance tests of solid materials to be performed at room temperature. The sample holder consists of two parallel electrodes, one of which is fixed in position and the other which can be moved into contact with the sample by adjustment of a micrometer. The sample holder makes use of guard ring and reference techniques in order to improve accuracy by reducing “fringing” effects at the edge of the sample. The standard electrode provided is 20mm diameter.
