How to use electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) accuracy contour plots
Latest updated: January 12, 2022
The importance of EIS accuracy contour plots
EIS accuracy contour plots must be used to interpret errors made during EIS measurements and identify the best frequencies possible to be used for a given impedance range. The aim of Fig. 1 is to demonstrate how to read and understand EIS accuracy contour plots provided with each potentiostat .

of the same circuit (right).
The different colored areas show different ranges of impedances that can be measured at various frequencies within a specified error in magnitude (%) and in phase (°).
The accuracy contour plot is an image of the capability of the instrument and is only valid for a given set of conditions (input amplitude, temperature, data averaging, etc).
