Test Cell Kits

Meet the Test Cell Kit

Whether your want to extend your Dye Solar Cell expertise, or to completely jump-start your research, the Test Cell Kit removes the barriers and fires up your productivity.

For research and development, comparative studies, or high level courses, the Test Cell Kit is specifically tailored for the most demanding activities.

All this for the unprecedented price of CHF 9 per cell !

The Beauty of Simplicity

The fruit of intensive DSC research at Solaronix and years of optimization, the Test Cell Kit is the perfect match of simplicity of construction, reproducibility, and of course, ease of assembly. With an active area of 6 x 6 mm, your Test Cells won't suffer from the side effects observed with larger surface, and will allow you to understand changes precisely.

Boost Your Productivity

Take advantage of high quality ready-to-use solar cell parts, and focus on your specialty.

Explore New Compounds:

Could it be dyes, additives, electrolytes, hole transporting materials, or all of the above, you will not have to worry about cell making anymore. Just put your products together with the Test Cell parts.

Compare and Reproduce:

Assemble numerous cells quickly and easily, perform comparative studies to obtain reliable results based on multiple samples.

Make Reference Cells:

Set the baseline for the rest of your experiments with standard configurations using our commercial chemicals together with the Test Cell components.
