MicroelectrodeTS Microelectrode Test Station

• Advantages:

- Excellent electric shielding guaranteed in the frequency range of 106 – 10-3 Hz
- High mechanical stability against vibrations or mechanical shocks
- High precision. Micro contacts with a dimension of 2 µm can be contacted without destruction
- Small gas volume. Smaller amount of expensive gases e.g. isotope tracer gases
- Micro contacts can be changed at elevated temperature and in gas atmosphere
- High precision micro-patterned structures of a few microns can be gently contacted within seconds

• Additional Equipment:

- Mass flow controllers for gas mixtures
- High pressure gas washing bottle for humidity control
- Oxygen gas sensor to monitor the oxygen partial pressure
