pMEA Preperation

I want to use a pMEA, but could not find any special guidelines regarding the preparation/sterilization.
Can I handle them the same way as normal MEAs? Dry heat sterilization and/or plasma cleaning?

Thank you for any help,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Perforated MEAs have a robust ceramic carrier, but the electrodes are embedded in Polyimide foil.
Therefore they are heat stable to 50 °C only, and cannot be autoclaved.
However, plasma treatment is not an issue.
