HXS-0 AEM MEA single-cell and short-stack test platform

Available

Choose the active area and cell count, then evaluate our own or third-party anion exchange membrane (AEM) MEAs in the same hardware.

The HXS-0 is a made-to-order test cell with a selectable 1–25 cm² active area, available from a single cell up to a 20-cell short stack. It ships four weeks from PO acceptance once the active area, cell count and flow field are fixed.

Is this the right product?

Can my MEA and test equipment support the evaluation I need?

HXS-0 sets active area through the gasket window and scales from a single cell to a short stack. The key is to define the boundary between cell hardware, MEA and your power and circulation equipment.

Choose this product when
  • Research screening catalyst, membrane and electrode combinations at cell level
  • Defining scale-up conditions from single cell to short stack
  • Comparing performance with MEAs you fabricate yourself
