Conference season is coming, we are hiring, and Litos Lite is evolving!
Ok, there’s always a conference going on, but from the end of August, things start to ramp up for us. We’ll be presenting talks at several conferences over the next 8 weeks, so if you are going to any of the conferences listed below, we´d love to meet up and talk physics, devices, simulation and measurements.
On a different note, we are hiring again! If you are a talented Sales & Marketing Manager or an experienced Technical Sales Engineer, we have these exciting roles available - Check them out below. Not only news about the team but also about our products: the capabilities of our instruments and software are expanding. We can’t reveal them all just yet, but for those of you working on stress testing organic and perovskite solar cells, you will want to read about the new capabilities of Litos Lite.
The summer break will soon be behind us, and we start September with Research Webinar no 15, which is on revolutionary thin-film batteries. You can register below.
And if you are into podcasts, here´s something that might grab your interest. The Setfos Podcast - two AI agents talk about Setfos - it’s amazing and somewhat concerning all at the same time (especially some of the pronunciation)!
Join our team #hiring

Litos Lite - the upgrades you have been waiting for!
Back in April 2020, we launched Litos Lite—the unique, compact, and user-friendly platform for stress testing thin-film solar cells. It has been a runaway success.
We have now made some significant upgrades to keep Litos Lite ahead of the pack. So if you were previously interested but missing one or two features, this might be your moment.
Temperature Control
Our new sample holder includes active temperature control for heating and cooling
Temperature range 25-85°C guaranteed for long-term and cycling—ideal for standard testing conditions (STC) and ISOS protocols requirements.
Temperatures can reach 20°C and up to 95°C*
No need for liquid cooling
Compatible with virtually any sample layout and substrate thickness thanks to the banana-plug extension.
A new sample holder is compatible with the older version of Litos Lite
Mini-Module Ready
We’ve upgraded Litos Lite’s electronics to handle mini-modules:
Up to 8 channels
Each channel delivers 400 mA and 10 V
parallel stress testing of multiple samples with current and voltage performance comparable to commonly used SMUs.
Voltage extension up to 19 V on 4 channels (coming soon)
What Litos Lite Delivers
✓ Simultaneous stress testing of up to 56 devices in parallel
✓ Programmable light sources and control via easy-to-use supported software
✓ Built for ISOS protocol-driven stability testing
✓ Real-time monitoring and data export
✓ Now with active temperature control (25–85 °C cycling, 20–95 °C extended)
✓ Now compatible with mini-modules and higher voltages (up to 19 V on 4 channels will be available soon)
✓ Performance comparable to commonly used SMUs
Upgrade your lab’s stability testing.
If temperature control or mini-module support was missing before, it isn’t now.
Request an online demo—we’d love to show you what’s new.
Good news for current Litos Lite users
The new sample holder with active temperature control is fully compatible with your existing system. To take advantage of mini-module support and higher voltage output, an upgrade to the latest Litos Lite is required.
Let us know if you’d like to discuss your upgrade options—we’re happy to help.
For our 15th webinar, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Moritz Futscher, CEO and Co-Founder of BRTY, a Swiss start-up aiming to revolutionize energy storage. BRTY was founded in 2023 as an EMPA and ETH Zürich spin-off. Their innovation takes shape in an energy dense solid-state battery that can be charged and discharged in one minute, and delivers reliable energy even at extreme temperatures.
Thin-Film Solid-State Batteries: From Fundamental Insights to Scalable Solutions
Date & Time: Tuesday, 2nd Sept 2025, 10 am- 11 am (CEST)
This webinar, hosted by Fluxim’s Dr. Daniele Braga, is a must-attend for researchers from industry and academia interested in battery research and innovation.
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Setfos Podcast (just for fun)
AI tools have quickly become part of everyday life. Like it or loathe it, they’re here to stay—and at Fluxim, we tend to lean into new technology (with a healthy dose of scepticism, of course). Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, thousands of AI tools have emerged, promising to boost productivity. Some are genuinely useful. Others? Not so much. And none, so far, can match the precision of our world-class researchers.
Still, one area that has caught our attention is AI-generated content—especially podcasts.
We posed ourselves a challenge:
Our user manuals are packed with expert insights and answer 90% of customer questions. So why do people still prefer emailing support? Maybe the manuals just aren’t that engaging.
Then someone said:
“What if we turned the Setfos manual into a podcast? Would anyone listen? Could AI even make it interesting?”
So we gave it a shot. The result? A 100% AI-generated podcast based on the Setfos User Manual. The 4-minute version below isn’t boring (promise). Overall it’s a bit over the top in terms of accent and tone—but it definitely gets you thinking about where all this might be heading.
Of course, we still believe that people engage best with people. When content is machine-generated, it often feels less human and less impactful.
And that's precisely why we continue to offer personal support. When you buy a Fluxim product, you get more than just software or instruments. You get access to real R&D expertise, shaped by years of hands-on experience.
Have questions? Write to us—we’re happy to help.
