Automate and control solution dispense and unlock advanced spin coating techniques
Spin coater and syringe pump, available at a discounted price with a FREE connector
Overview | Specifications | Gallery | In the Box | Accessories | Resources and Support
The Ossila Spin Coating Kit includes both pieces of equipment, along with a FREE connection adapter, disposable syringes, PTFE tubing, and needles. The adapter enables you to easily combine the precision and automatic control of the Ossila Syringe Pump with the versatility of the Ossila Spin Coater.
Using the tubing provided, up to four different streams of solution can be dispensed. Standard manual dispensing can still be carried out unimpeded too, using the opening in the centre of the adapter. The Spin Coater and Syringe Pump are both covered by our FREE two-year warranty, and are designed to be used in labs, with solvent-safe components throughout.
The bundle comes with a free spin coater chuck of your choosing (please see the specifications tab if you are unsure which to select) and is available with either the single or dual pump version of the Ossila Syringe Pump. For the dual syringe pump model, each can operate independently. For example, one syringe can be in infusion mode whilst the other is in withdraw mode, or one can be used while the other is not being used.

** The Ossila Single Syringe Pump has a stepping accuracy of 0.16%, which gives a rate accuracy of 19 nm.s-1. In practice, the accuracy of the flow rate from a syringe pump depends on the accuracy of the driver and the syringe diameter. Different syringes have different manufacturing tolerances. The diameter of plastic disposable syringes can vary by up to 3%, resulting in an error in dispense rate of up to 6%. Glass and stainless steel syringes have a higher tolerance, with a maximum of 0.5% variation in the internal diameter and volume error of up to 1%.

Maximum and Minimum Flow Rate
The maximum and minimum flow rate of the syringe pump is determined by the stepping rate of the motor and the diameter of the syringe. Maximum and minimum flow rates for some common syringe sizes are shown below. By choosing the correct syringe diameter, it is possible to achieve a range of dispense rates spanning 8 orders of magnitude.

User Manual
Spin Coating Kit Features
Built-In Software
No external PC required, both the Syringe Pump and Spin Coater feature built-in software which allows multi-step programs (20 programs with a total of 99 steps on the syringe pump and 10 on each profile on the spin coater, with up to 50 steps each) to be created and saved with ease.
Complete Control
Take your spin coating to the next level. Together, the Spin Coater and Syringe Pump give you complete control over the spin speed and the solution dispense rate and volume, with a high degree of precision. Easily and accurately reproduce your experiments every time.
More Applications
Spin coaters are widely used for quickly and easily creating thin films, but there are many applications that require more precise control over the deposition. For example, when anti-solvent quenching, it is important to allow a precise amount of time to pass after the initial solution before adding the solvent. Similarly, for synthesising multilayered structures, a dual pump syringe pump is invaluable.
Multiple Modes of Operation
The Spin Coater and Syringe Pump included in the bundle offer are the same as those offered as standalone products, meaning you can use them together with the supplied adapter, or as separate units for any experiment that only requires one or the other. In addition, each syringe pump on the dual pump model can be controlled completely independently of the other.
Large Range of Spin and Dispense Speeds
The spin speed on the Ossila Spin Coater can be set to anything from 120 rpm to 6000 rpm to cover everything from slow dry crystallisation to ultra-thin films. The Syringe Pump, meanwhile, is capable of speeds from 12 µm/s to 5 mm/s (resulting in flow rates from 0.1 nL/s to 4.17 mL/s depending on the size of the syringe used).
Compact and Lab-Proof
The compact design (the syringe pump measures just 330 x 140 x 260 mm and the spin coater measures 225 x 170 x 132 mm) and high quality, durable, and solvent-safe construction of the two units make them suitable for busy labs and glove boxes. Since the spin coater is not burdened by a vacuum pump, it is easy to move from place-to-place to make room when space is limited.
