At a Glance: Why the LCR-3 ?

  • Same precision as the LCR-1, now in a modular, extensible platform
  • Seamless integration with up to 256-channel multiplexing
  • Built for automation in component testing and production environments
  • Flexible form factor: desktop or 19″ rack-mount configuration
  • Sciospec’s versatile API & SCPI  for scripting, test automation, and integration
  • OEM-ready: Fully customizable for product integrations and private labeling

Built to Scale – A True Multichannel LCR Platform

While traditional LCR meters limit you to one sample at a time, the LCR-3 is made to scale. With optional integrated multiplexers, the system can handle up to 256 ports, all with ultra-low parasitics and true any-to-any functional mapping. Perfect for:

  • Automated end-of-line testing
  • Batch characterization of components like capacitors, inductors, resistors, ferrites
  • Inline QA processes and test automation systems
  • Flexible, high-throughput setups in  R&D or manufacturing

🔧 Multiplexing isn’t an afterthought it’s native to the LCR-3. And when you’re ready to go further, multi-module expansion is available for parallel measurements and stackable configurations.

Need Even More Throughput ?

The LCR-3 is incredibly capable, but if your application pushes the limits of sequential testing, we can go even further. Leveraging our modular architecture (similar to the ISX-5 platform), we can combine multiple LCR modules for true parallel measurements—with or without stackable multiplexing on top. 

This opens up exciting possibilities for: 

  • Fully parallel LCR testing on multiple components simultaneously 
  • Custom-built test stations for production lines with massive throughput 
  • Ultra-scalable QA platforms for microelectronics and sensor manufacturing 

💡 Let’s build it together. Whether you’re looking for off-the-shelf performance or a tailored OEM solution, our team can help you design the perfect configuration. 

 Looking for deeper insights? – Impedance analyzers 

Advanced Impedance Analysis Beyond LCR

For complex impedance characterization beyond basic LCR parameters, our ISX-3 and ISX-5 impedance analyzers provide: 

  • Full impedance spectroscopy (µHz to 100 MHz) 
  • Multi-frequency and multi-channel modes 
  • Support for bioanalytical and material science applications 
  • Medical safety versions for clinical research 

If your work requires deeper electrical analysis, frequency-dependent modeling, or impedance tomography, Sciospec impedance analyzers are the ideal complement to the LCR-3.

Analyzing energy storage components? Combine LCR with Electrochemical setups

When testing batteries, supercapacitors, or advanced energy materials, component performance often depends on both electrical properties and dynamic behavior under load or cycling. 

With Sciospec’s electrochemical platforms, you can: 

  • Combine LCR testing with pre-conditioning and cycling protocols 
  • Use multi-channel potentiostats to simulate usage conditions 
  • Run automated protocols and compare behavior under charge/discharge 
  • Build integrated platforms for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) alongside LCR testing
