The Model 6517B is well suited for low current and high impedance voltage, resistance, and charge measurements in areas of research such as physics, optics, and materials science. Its extremely low voltage burden makes it particularly appropriate for use in solar cell applications, and its built-in voltage source and low current sensitivity make it an excellent solution for high resistance measurements of nanomaterials such as polymer based nanowires.
Its high speed and ease of use also make it an excellent choice for quality control, product engineering, and production test applications involving leakage, breakdown, and resistance testing. Volume and surface resistivity measurements on nonconductive materials are particularly enhanced by the Model 6517B’s voltage reversal method.
The Model 6517B is also well suited for electrochemistry applications such as ion selective electrode and pH measurements, conductivity cells, and potentiometry
