Detailed Description
In the life of each electrochemist working with impedance spectroscopy, there comes a time when you just don’t think that your analyser is doing what it is supposed to.
This is where test boxes come in. Built on stable classical electrical elements like resistors and capacitors, you can measure these test boxes to see if the analyser produces the expected spectrum. But what if your test box is not anywhere near the system that you are studying? What if it has nothing in common with any real-world examples?
Enter: the nEIS Kit!
The nEIS Kit is more than a simple test box. It offers a wide variety of experiments that simulate common measurement tasks in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy like measuring very low or high impedances, three-electrode setups, or systems with high-frequency requirements. It contains interactive elements that allow you to not only understand the systems but also to learn much about analyzer settings – like amplitude or integration times, noise shielding, cable inductivity and capacitance and more.
Teaching EIS
Impedance spectroscopy is a complex technique and learning to use it effectively can be a challenge.
In the nEIS Kit, you find intuitive examples for common measurement together with reference sheets that give hints and examples. All components have specified values, allowing you to analyze your spectra to find out if the measured values match what’s on the board. Knowing the expected outcome allows you to fine-tune your EIS device settings because you can always objectively judge if a change improved the result.
