Spin Coaters

A spin coater is used in laboratories and manufacturing to apply uniform thin films to flat substrates by rapidly spinning a liquid solution on a substrate. The centrifugal force spreads the liquid out evenly across the surface, forming a thin, consistent coating as the solvent evaporates.

Ossila spin coaters are vacuum-free and include an innovative chuck designed to produce uniform coatings with zero substrate warping. With intuitive control software and no prerequisite equipment, our systems are true plug-and-play devices to make spin coating quick, easy, and inexpensive without compromising on functionality. They are compact, taking up very little space on a lab bench and can be used inside a glove box with ease.

For controllable, automated dispensing of solvents, our spin coating kit combines our spin coater and syringe pump so you can implement advanced spin coating techniques in your research.

Which Spin Coater Features Do I Need?

Depending on your application and scale of film production, these features can be both beneficial and damaging to your final films. Before investing in a new spin coater, it is crucial to consider the different features and specifications available in the market.

Getting Started with the Ossila Spin Coater

Spin coating is a widely used and versatile technique for depositing materials onto substrates with accurate and controllable film thicknesses.

Spin Coater Advanced: Upgrades and Specifications

The Spin Coater Advanced offers more control than the classic spin coater in a wide range of areas. These advancements make the our advanced spin coater ideal for high-precision and demanding applications.

Reinventing the Spin Coater Chuck

The bigger, better chuck provides an all-in-one solution if you have multiple sizes of substrates to coat. Plus improved aerodynamics and mechanical performance produce more uniform films.

How to Spin Coat to the Very Edge of a Substrate

This video demonstrates the static dispense spin coating method using 45 degree angle to avoid touching the edge of the substrate whilst moving the ink.

Spin coating coated inside and outside a laminar flow hood - films have less and more defects respectively.

Spin Coating in Laminar Flow Hood

To achieve successful thin-film deposition via spin coating, it is crucial to minimize particle contamination. A vertical laminar flow hood can create a contamination free environment.

Spin Coating: Complete Guide to Theory and Techniques

Spin coating is a common technique for applying thin films to substrates. When a solution of a material and a solvent is spun at high speeds, the centripetal force and the surface tension of the liquid together create an even covering.

Thin Film Deposition: Comparing Coating Methods

When it comes to depositing highly-uniform wet thin films, there are many different solution-processing techniques capable of producing high-quality films at low cost.
