The ICM Impedance Conditioning Module measures impedance, capacitance, and resistance in a single sweep, which can be used to verify metal microelectrodes, glass micropipettes, and to troubleshoot recording setups.
The ICM Impedance Conditioning Module measures impedance, capacitance, and resistance in a single sweep, which can be used to verify metal microelectrodes, glass micropipettes, and to troubleshoot recording setups. Features include:
Fast readout of electrode’s impedance, resistance, or capacitance to two or three digits, depending on range.
A range of adjustable currents and frequencies allows user to perform electrode conditioning or plating.
Provides optional line noise suppression on the measurement signal in noisy environments.
Selectable frequency and voltage/current allow measurement of complex electrode properties, like impedance spectrum, when interfaced to an external computer.
Intuitive knob and pushbutton control of functionality.
All necessary cabling included in accessory kit.
Compact, modular, desktop or rack mountable.
The ICM Impedance Conditioning Module gives the researcher accurate information about the integrity and electrical characteristics of metal microelectrodes. User-selectable readings of impedance, resistance, and capacitance provide a wider range of microelectrode information than has been previously available. The DSP digital signal processor technology executes complex math algorithms, providing accurate readings to two significant digits.
Built in adaptive line noise suppression and the driven-shield electrode cable provides seamless isolation from external noise sources and minimize stray capacitance artifacts in the measurement signal path. The line noise suppressor operates in continuous measurement mode and is particularly effective when performing in-vivo impedance measurements.
Electrode conditioning by the end user has been built into the ICM. User-adjustable conditioning parameters allow removal of small amounts of insulation from the tip to fine-tune electrode impedances that are found to be a little high.
Settings are manipulated through an intuitive pushbutton and adjustment knob interface. All cabling necessary comes in the accessory kit. The ICM is a software-upgradeable device. Its firmware is stored on a FLASH memory that can be re-programmed with the latest code version, available on our support site www.neurocraft.com.
