Southern Pines, NC, and Toronto, ON, May 28th, 2026: Scribner, the world’s leading provider of academic electrochemical testing equipment, and Pulsenics, a global exporter of industrial-strength electrochemical diagnostic hardware, today announced their new line of high-power solutions. The companies will integrate Pulsenics’ industry-leading electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) hardware with Scriber’s scalable test stand infrastructure.

This collaboration follows Scribner’s ongoing transformation from academic testing company to industrial vendor.

Researchers at industrial hydrogen companies can now use Scribner test stands in high-power applications. The Pulse Series, Pulsenics’ family of high-power EIS-based diagnostic devices, provides the technological foundation for electrochemical diagnosis while Scribner test stands provide test stand infrastructure to enable industrial stack testing.  

“We searched the world for the right partner to enable industrial R&D and Pulsenics was the clear choice,” commented Scribner General Manager Russell Freed. “Their unique high-powered architecture for EIS diagnostics was exactly what we needed to help the hydrogen industry scale.”

Electrolyser researchers have long used EIS for product design workflows like failure analysis, degradation benchmarking, and material selection. Those workflows can now proceed at commercial throughput.

Scribner test stands, beloved by generations of graduate students for their precise characterizations, compact design and intuitive software, were originally designed for low-power applications. As the green hydrogen industry scales to support the global energy transition, there is an urgent need to bring Scribner’s decades of experience into commercial contexts.  

“When I was getting my Ph.D, everyone used Scribner. Their test stands have the versatility, reliability, and ease of use that you need to do great science,” commented Pulsenics CEO and co-Founder Essam Elsahwi. “I'm thrilled to help bring that legacy of excellence into commercial-grade electrochemical diagnostics.”

Scriber test stands with integrated Pulsenics Pulse Probes have an industry-leading feature set, including:

  • Real-time monitoring for degradation and performance
  • Wide frequency range, from 0.01 Hz to 100kHz
  • Scalability to 5MW stacks containing up to 384 cells

High-power test stands are available now for researchers and entrepreneurs working in electrolysers, fuel cells, or adjacent technologies. Interested parties can visit [URL] for more information.
