- Omega – Modular Dielectric Impedance Analyzer
Omega Modular Dielectric Impedance Analyzer
Omega is a Dielectric Impedance Analyzer for measuring from dielectric impedance down to conductivity measurements. It can be integrated with various interface options to provide highest accuracy and very wide impedance and frequency range.
Broad Impedance and Frequency ranges
This cutting-edge Analyzer offers exceptional capabilities for measuring dielectric properties, electrochemical behaviour, impedance and conductivity across various frequencies. Omega represents our most advanced and versatile instrument. It is designed with modularity in mind, centred around the Omega Main unit which can be seamlessly paired with one specialized test interface, each optimized for specific functionality. Notably, our impedance measurement interfaces provide outstanding general-purpose performance, ensuring the utmost accuracy and an incredibly wide range of impedance and frequency measurements.
Omega impressively spans an 18-order magnitude impedance range (1 mΩ ~ 500 TΩ), covers a 14-order magnitude frequency range (1 µHz ~ 100 MHz), and maintains a basic phase accuracy of 0.001°. This enables Omega to do measurement of permittivity, conductivity, and impedance across a vast array of materials or components, even those with unique characteristics, without the need to alter sample geometry/cell.
Omega can be integrated with our Temperature control systems for an automatic precisely temperature controlled measurements over a broad temperature range. It stands out as a user-friendly and unique instrument, delivering overall exceptional performance. It adeptly caters to a wide range of specialized requirements.
Omega can be currently integrated with:
HZx/HZa Interface: Which allows for 2, 3 or 4 wire measurements, or with the HZa which is a Sample cell integrated Interface. HZx or HZa can support measurements with a combined output Signal of applied DC Bias and AC signal up to ±50V*¹.
HV500 Interface: Which allows for 2 wire measurements and support measurements with a combined output Signal of applied DC Bias and AC signal up to ±250V.
HV1000 Interface: Which allows for 2 wire measurements and support measurements with a combined output Signal of applied DC Bias and AC signal up to ±500V.
HV2000 Interface: Which allows for 2 wire measurements and support measurements with a combined output Signal of applied DC Bias and AC signal up to ±1000V.
Other interfaces are in development as well.
