XV-100

CCM/MEA Catalyst Coating Monitor

Fast, Non-destructive, and High-Precision Elemental Analysis Customized to Your Process

HORIBA’s XV-100 is an in-line XRF analyzer designed for precise, non-destructive measurement of platinum group metals (PGMs) including platinum and iridium in catalyst-coated membranes/membrane electrode assembly (CCM/MEA) used in fuel cells and electrolyzers. These noble metals are essential for performance but are expensive and limited in supply.

The XV-100 helps manufacturers ensure quality, reduce waste, and optimize material usage during the coating process. With real-time monitoring, 24/7 operation, and no sample preparation required, it optimizes quality control while minimizing material waste. Its durable X-ray tube designed to operate for 10,000 hours, direct PLC connectivity, and scalable integration across production lines ensure high operational reliability. The compact, PC-less design allows for flexible installation in various industrial environments. Backed by over 50 years of HORIBA expertise, the XV-100 supports high-efficiency manufacturing for next-generation energy devices.
