Specifications refer to the flex-X-cell platform, device-specific limits depend on selected components and materials. Extended ranges are available on request. Chemical compatibility depends on the selected wetted materials and operating conditions.
Equipment and setups
We supply compatible experimental infrastructure for operating
flex-X-cell - from selected peripheral equipment to application-specific lab setups: flow controllers,
pumps, temperature control, reservoirs, humidification, phase separation, pH and conductivity sensors,
data logging and electrical equipment...
Engineering
Facing a specific challenge in the design, setup or operation of an
electrochemical system?
Our engineering team supports you with practical expertise — from system design and component
selection to commissioning, process optimization and troubleshooting.
Contact us to discuss
your application, technical requirements and next development steps.
Materials
We
provide selected electrodes, porous transport layers and ion-exchange membranes
for electrochemical research — including nickel felt, nickel foam, titanium
felt and coated electrodes (Pt or Ir-MMO). Materials are available in standard
dimensions or cut to size for flex-X-cell.
We cooperate closely with universities and research institutes.
