ISX-3
Sciospec


Demanding measurements but no room for large and bulky lab equipment? Impedance Spectroscopy out in the field? With the ISX-3mini Sciospec offers a fully equipped impedance analyzer fitting in the palm of your hand.
In standard configuration the ISX-3mini is equipped with Sciospec’s IF frontend. Within the measurement range from 100 mHz to 10 MHz (extendable to 40 or 100 MHz) it covers a dynamic range of 300dB (mOhm…TOhm) with a base precision of 0.01%. The two multiplexed 4-electrode MCX measurement ports greatly simplify comparative measurements of two sensors or devices under test.
