Dear Anna.

Try first to measure the CV curve on a conventional resistor and evaluate the result. If noise remains in the case of a conventional resistor, check your measuring equipment and the quality of the wires (probes) fastening. Also, if possible, measure your jari cell on other equipment and evaluate the noise level
