The Keithley 6485/J Picoammeter provides accurate, low-noise measurements of currents from 20 fA to 20 mA, making it a versatile tool for research, quality assurance, and system integration. With femtoamp-level resolution and a wide dynamic range, it delivers the sensitivity of a traditional electrometer at a fraction of the cost, making it ideal for applications in optical, nanotechnology, materials, and device testing.
The instrument features a built-in IEEE-488 (GPIB) and RS-232 interface, enabling seamless integration into automated systems. Its compact and cost-effective design makes it a practical choice for bench-top use or rack-mount system configurations.
This “/J” variant is configured for 100Vac line voltage operation, making it suitable for specific regional power requirements.
