The maximum frequency is an important specification for an instrument used to perform Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The majority of EIS manufacturers specify a maximum frequency of 1 MHz. Some manufacturer's specifications, however, misrepresent true system performance. Many EIS instruments specified to measure impedance at 1 MHz can apply a 1 MHz signal and measure a response -- but have huge errors when they do so. This document is a protocol to quickly assess the performance of any EIS instrument. You can use it as an easy and effective comparison between systems. You should test before you buy! |
