Unleashing Performance for Labs and Production Lines Alike
The Sciospec LCR-3 is your answer to professional-grade LCR measurements with a scalable, automation-ready design. Built on the same high-precision core as the compact LCR-1, the LCR-3 takes things further with a larger, configurable enclosure, optional integrated multiplexers, and native support for automated, multi-object testing. From quality control on production lines to advanced R&D setups, the LCR-3 delivers exceptional performance and unmatched adaptability.
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:
🔧 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.
