SYS-OMEGAZ

Overview

Features & Benefits

• Determine resistance of glass capillary electrode during micropipette beveling process.
• Measure impedance of metal or glass capillary microelectrodes
• Battery operated
• Portable
• Low noise probe included

Omega-Tip-Z was created especially for measuring impedance in etched tungsten, platinum-iridium* and steel microelectrodes, as well as electrolyte-filled micropipettes. The meter’s AC impedance-measuring circuit is unaffected by electrode offset or tip junction potentials. The gold-plated miniature probe lets you conveniently monitor microelectrode impedance in electrolytes, and an electrode tip cleaning feature lets you remove buildup quickly. Omega-Tip-Z can also measure DC electrode tip potentials up to 2000 millivolts. The instrument operates for hundreds of hours without battery failure.

Applications

• Impedance measurements provide valuable information about the electrode-electrolyte interface, including the resistance and capacitance of the system

Required Accessories

For measuring resistance on a prepulled glass micropipette you will require an EHBF microelectrode holder. For metal microelectrode impedance testing you will require part number 5468 electrode adapter. For both applications, a reference electrode is required we recommend part number RC1T. All three accessories are sold separately.

NOTE: Metal microelectrodes which have been precalkibrated at 1kHz should be baselined for use with Omega-Tip-Z.
