A tabletop LED solar simulator for cells and small samples. Three variants, steady-state for perovskite, pulsed Pro / Pro Max base for silicon, or Cosmo-based for multi-junction, share the same software, the same calibration chain, and the same accuracy guarantee as the rest of the Nexun line. Optional Pasan Grid Touch cell-contacting integration for a complete benchtop measurement station.
The classical answer to "we want to measure cells and small samples on a research budget" is to either over-buy a module simulator that wastes 90% of its active area on empty bench, or under-buy a hobby-grade system that cannot deliver certification accuracy. MiniLab is the in-between, real Avalon engineering, sized to small samples, priced for research budgets.
Different cells want different light. MiniLab is configurable across the three measurement regimes the rest of the Nexun line covers, so the right physics is always available, just on a bench.
Continuous LED illumination with the perovskite-friendly 300–1000 nm spectrum, sized for cells and small samples. Run preconditioning sweeps, capture stabilised IV without metastability artefacts, characterise temperature coefficient on a bench, all without leaving the table.
The premium AM1.5G LED engine from Nexun Pro or Pro Max, scaled to a tabletop footprint. Gets you certification-grade silicon IV on small cells and prototype batches with the same spectrum, the same software stack, and the same calibration philosophy as the larger module simulators.
The patented LED + tungsten-halogen hybrid from Nexun Cosmo, brought down to cell scale. AM0 spectrum, per-junction tunability, and the deep-IR coverage 3J and 4J architectures need, on a bench rather than in a flash hall.
MiniLab pairs cleanly with the Pasan Grid Touch cell-contacting unit. That gives you a complete benchtop measurement station, contact the cell, illuminate, measure, repeat, in a single integrated workflow with the Avalon software stack and the same traceability as the rest of the Nexun line. Especially useful for research groups iterating fast on small batches, where the time saved on each cycle adds up across a project.
Avalon group cell-contacting unit, designed for the same benchtop class as MiniLab. Fast, repeatable contacting for cell-level measurement.
One footprint, one workflow, one calibration chain. Contacting and illumination live on the same surface and run from the same software.
MiniLab is the Nexun for groups whose work happens at cell scale, fast iteration, prototype batches, teaching loads, R&D pipelines, and who want the same measurement physics as a national-lab system, on a budget that fits a research grant.
