Doctor Blade Coater
Lab Equipment, Large Area Coating, Thin Film Coating
High Quality Coatings with an Automatic, Adjustable System
Precise, simple, and efficient optimization in your research
Overview | Specifications | Features | Gallery | In the Box
Take control of essential coating parameters with our automatic doctor blade coater. The included applicator is made from stainless steel with digital micrometer gauges. Make micron-level adjustments to the gap height (up to 10 mm) with ultimate accuracy for a range of film thicknesses as you optimize your coatings.
The integrated software makes it easy to adjust and set the coating speed, from 0.05 mm.s-1 to 250 mm.s-1. Beyond blade coating, you can also use Mayer rods, which can be purchased separately, for further flexibility as you experiment with and optimize your coatings. The doctor blade coater can either come with a simple glass stage or a vacuum stage for uniform holding across the whole substrate.

Doctor Blade Coater Features
Micron-Level Thickness Adjustment
The digital micrometer head provides high accuracy blade positioning. For improved reproducibility and efficiency, the blade is calibrated to the zero position of the micrometer gauge. Plus, the rounded tungsten carbide tip provides longevity for your system.
Stainless Steel Applicator
The stainless steel applicator is suitable for use with a wide range of coating solutions, making it easy for you to coat with materials that require a higher chemical resistance. Resistant to abrasions, the applicator can be used again and again to reliably produce consistent coatings.
Wide Range of Coating Speeds
Optimize your coatings with smooth, reliable movement at speeds as low as 0.05 mm.s-1 and as high as 250 mm.s-1. Choose the right speed for a wide range of solution viscosities and consistently produce coatings without defects.
Versatile Coating Area
With a maximum travel distance of 290 mm, scaling up your doctor blade coating processes has never been easier. Customize the width of your film applicator to match your research needs. We offer custom adjustable applicators with coating widths as low as 50 mm.
Smart Stage Design
Mount the drip tray at either end of the system to match the direction of travel, and quickly align your samples using the grid-patterned glass plate. Once your coating is complete, the quick-lock magnet design makes disassembling the system for cleaning swift and simple.
