Our entire range of advanced battery test cells
Efficient 3-electrode setups for high-throughput measurements or special applications
Go beyond the basics:
Dilatation & force measurements – see how your materials really behave under stress
Gas pressure analysis – track gas evolution in real-time
Optical insights – visualize your processes like never before
Just send us your electrode materials – we’ll deliver the data you need to innovate faster.
MBraun glove box system, EL-CELL laboratoryHow Does it Work?
Would you like us to characterize your battery materials? Here‘s how it works:
Step 1
Contact us
Send us an email, use our contact form or give us a call. It’s best to fill out our checklist beforehand.
We will discuss the details with you and then send you an offer that includes all positions.
Step 2
Send us your material
Send us the electrode material or electrolyte you want us to test.
We will punch the electrodes, assemble the test cells, and create the measurement protocols based on your instructions.
We can also provide battery materials to some extent.
Step 3
Get your results
We start your measurements on the agreed date. You will receive regular updates with the results of the ongoing measurements.
Once the experiment is complete, you will receive the final evaluation. Optionally, we return the materials to you after the measurement.
