Name: flex-X-cell S for PEM electrolysis
Brand: FXC Engineering
Price: 3230 EUR

A modular proton exchange membrane electrolysis test cell for catalyst and electrode testing, membrane studies and porous transport layer evaluation. The configurable assembly also supports investigation of catalyst-layer interfaces and comparative testing of the materials used in PEM water electrolysis.

Membranes and electrodes are supplied separately unless explicitly included in the selected configuration or added to the quotation. Optional configurations and the final scope of supply are confirmed with the quotation.
