Dr. Carl Kukkonen, CEO of both VIASPACE and Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation, reports, "With this test device for liquid fuel cell cartridges, we are adding to our existing capabilities to design and qualify a variety of liquid fuel cell cartridges to existing IEC standards. Many of our potential customers are looking at very small fuel cell applications requiring cartridges holding as little as 6 ml of fuel. This new testing device will allow potential customers to evaluate the suitability of various cartridge designs for their fuel cell applications."
