About Gaskatel
Gaskatel GmbH, based in Kassel, develops and manufactures electrochemical measuring products: hydrogen reference electrodes (HydroFlex, Mini-HydroFlex, Mini-HydroFlex Pro), pH electrodes without glass membrane (pHydrunio), electrochemical test cells (FlexCell-PTFE, FlexCell-PP, ElyFlow), gas diffusion electrodes as well as measuring and control units such as ElyControl and Temperature Control Box. The company's reference electrode is the only commercially available hydrogen reference electrode that complies with the IUPAC recommendations. Founded in 1997 by members of Prof. Winsel's working group at the University of Kassel, the company combines expertise from physics, chemistry and engineering and serves universities, research institutes and industrial R&D laboratories worldwide. In addition to its standard products, Gaskatel develops customized electrochemical measuring systems and offers measuring and testing services, from conducting experiments to result interpretation, including corrosion measurements. Products are sold via an online shop and an international distributor network.

Materials and Construction Materials
Polypropylene (PP)
Used for housing heads of the reference electrodes and the FlexCell-PP test cell, offering good resistance and durability.
PTFE
Highly chemically resistant material for test cells such as FlexCell-PTFE and electrode components.
PFA
Insulating and construction material for cell components and temperature sensors in contact with the electrolyte.
Platinum
Catalyst and electrode material of the hydrogen reference electrodes and platinum catalyst electrodes (Pla-CC).
Nickel catalyst
Catalyst material of the gas diffusion electrodes such as NiH33.
Nafion membrane N424
Standard separator for separating the anolyte and catholyte chambers in the ElyFlow test cell.
TPE (hose material)
Hose material for electrolyte pumps in the measuring systems.
FEP
Insulation of the Pt-100 temperature sensors in the control units.
