Fuel Cell Test Station

Used for Fuel Cell Testing

The Scribner Fuel Cell Testing 850e Station and Princeton Applied Research VersaSTAT4 can be used to test hydrogen and methanol fuel cells. In our laboratory, it is used extensively to measure active area, hydrogen cross-over and fuel cell performance for the fuel cells fabricated in our laboratory.

Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing (TRPS)

The laboratory facility is extended by another set of equipment called qNano and qMicro from Izon Science. Izon’s qNano/qMicro equipment can be used to measure: 1) particle diameter; 2) effective surface charge and zeta potential; 3) concentration of nanoparticles in the solution. The equipment is based on Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing (TRPS) technology. Sample particles are driven through the nanopore by applying a combination of pressure and voltage, and each particle causes a resistive pulse or “blockade” signal that is detected and measured by the application software. Manas Mandal has successfully achieved level 1 and level 2 competency certification on Izon’s TRPS system. The competency is on particle diameter and concentration measurement.
