Zennium X

The Zennium X is the most highly capable electrochemistry workstation carried by Admiral Instruments. It is comprised of a potentiostat / galvanostat and a frequency response analyzer (FRA) unit with a frequency range up to 12 MHz at ±4 A and at a compliance voltage of up to ±32 V. With a standard input impedance of more than 10 TΩ || 5 pF, this workstation is suitable for a wide range of electrochemical measurements, even moreso than the Zennium Pro.

Key Highlights:

  • 32-bit converter for exceptional DC accuracy

  • EIS frequency range: 10 µHz to 12 MHz

  • HDP technology with 24-bit AC resolution for high dynamic accuracy

  • Integrated ADF technology enabling ultra-fast CV up to 10 kV/s

  • Compliance voltage up to ±32 V, software-switchable for low noise and sample protection

  • DC voltage ranges ±5 V and ±15 V, optimized for lithium battery research

  • AC amplitude ranges up to 6 V with 18-bit resolution

  • Modular, expandable architecture with optional bipotentiostat

  • Switchable floating/grounded operation

Expandable Architecture:

Zennium X supports up to four plug-in cards (e.g., TEMP/U, EPC42), allowing control of external potentiostats, boosters, or electronic loads. This modular design enables advanced measurement methods and adapts seamlessly as research requirements evolve.

Available Add-Ons:

  • Compliance voltage up to ±120 V

  • Output power up to ±40 A / ±20 V

  • Input impedance up to 1000 TΩ

  • Input current up to 200 A

  • Four additional channels for true parallel EIS

Each Zennium X system includes Zahner’s Thales XT software, providing access to a full suite of standard and advanced electrochemical techniques within a unified platform.
