Reliable connections, for every setup.
Accurate impedance measurements depend not only on the core system but also on well-designed accessories. Test fixtures and measurement cable sets ensure secure connections, simplify setups and maintain stable, reliable performance across applications.
- Measurement cable sets — Kelvin clips, BNC, MCX, Banana, MUX
- Component test fixtures up to 10 MHz and 30 MHz · compensation kit
- Dielectric and liquid test fixtures for foils, films and solutions
Designed to match the Sciospec analyzer family — ISX-3, ISX-3mini, ISX-5, LCR-1 and the MUX line.

Compatibility
Three categories built around your Sciospec analyzer
The Sciospec accessory line covers the three things that decide the quality of an impedance measurement: how you connect to the analyzer, how you connect to the sample and how you calibrate the whole chain.
Measurement cable sets
KELVIN · BNC · MCX · BANANA
Cables matched to each Sciospec analyzer
Kelvin clips, BNC–BNC, BNC–Banana, BNC–MCX, MCX–Banana and the MUX cable set with crocodile clips. Each cable is matched to a specific analyzer (ISX-3, ISX-3mini, LCR-1, MUX) so impedance behaviour stays predictable.
Component test fixtures
10 MHz / 30 MHz · COMPENSATION
Precision fixtures for component characterisation
Two component test fixtures — up to 10 MHz and up to 30 MHz — with included short plates, plus the compensation kit for high-accuracy calibration of your measurement setup. An SMD test fixture covers surface-mount devices.
Material & liquid fixtures
DIELECTRIC · LIQUID CELLS
Characterise foils, thin films and solutions
The dielectric test fixture handles foils and thin films up to 10 mm; the liquid test fixture is built for liquids and solutions. Both are designed around stable, reproducible electrode geometries for repeatable EIS data.

Liquids and solutions
Where the accessories fit in
Electronic component characterisation
Characterise capacitors, inductors, resistors and SMD devices up to 30 MHz on the component and SMD test fixtures.
Dielectric & material science
Measure thin films, foils and solid materials up to 10 mm on the dielectric fixture for stable, reproducible permittivity data.
Liquid & electrolyte studies
Use the liquid test fixture for electrolytes, solutions and biological media — controlled geometry, easy to clean between samples.
Bench & field measurements
Pick the right cable set for your analyzer — Kelvin clips, BNC, MCX, Banana or MUX cabling — and keep contact resistance and parasitics in check.

From stock cables and fixtures to custom sample holders
The Sciospec accessory line is designed to pair cleanly with the rest of the impedance stack — ISX-3, ISX-3mini, ISX-5, LCR-1 and the MUX line — so the same accessories cover bench, lab and OEM use.
When stock cables and fixtures don’t fit your sample, we design custom sample holders, fixtures and cables co-engineered with your team — built to the same mechanical and signal-integrity standards as the stock line.
- 01
Start from a stock accessory
Use the stock cable sets and test fixtures to validate your measurement protocol on Sciospec analyzers.
- 02
Lock in your test geometry
Once your protocol stabilises, freeze the cable, fixture geometry and calibration workflow that gives you the cleanest data.
- 03
Move to a custom fixture
When you need a sample holder, fixture or cable set that does not exist off the shelf, we co-engineer one — same materials, mechanics and quality standards.
Application note
Cabling and calibration as part of the measurement, not an afterthought
The accessories decide whether a great analyzer behaves like one
Challenge
Stable, reproducible impedance data across analyzers, samples and labs — without re-engineering the front end every time.
SCIOSPEC ROLE
A coherent accessory line — cables, fixtures and compensation kit — designed for the ISX-3, ISX-3mini, ISX-5, LCR-1 and MUX line.
RESULT
Teams move from first measurements to routine work and OEM deployments without changing their measurement front end.
USER VOICE
- "Accurate impedance measurements depend not only on the core system but also on well-designed accessories — the cables and fixtures are part of the instrument."

Individual FAQ
How do I choose the right cable set?
Do I really need a compensation kit?
Which test fixture should I pick for components?
Use the 10 MHz fixture for typical passive components and the 30 MHz fixture when you need bandwidth headroom. The SMD fixture covers surface-mount devices. All three include short plates for compensation.
Can I measure thin films or solids?
Can I measure liquids and electrolytes?
Can you build a custom fixture or sample holder?
