H-Cell Kit
**NEW AND IMPROVED
The H-Cell is designed for membrane and separator characterization in a liquid environment. Measure resistance, conductivity, permeability, cross-over, and selectivity.
The H-Cell Kit includes two (x2) each of the following:
- Glass half-cell
- PEEK cap assembly with O-rings and plugs
- Luggin tube with Teflon mount
- Inlet with frit and outlet tube
- PET Cell Holder and Clamp
- Low Profile Silver/Silver Chloride Gel Reference Electrodes
- Pt wire coil CE/WE/Drive Electrodes
- Other Reference and Drive Electrodes types subject to availability

Features
- Small volume, easy-to-use, robust design
- Non-reactive materials of construction
- Pt or Au CE/WE electrodes
- Selection of reference electrode types
- Adjustable Luggin probes
- Ports for purge gas & temperature sensor.
