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 | Features | Gallery | In the Box | Accessories | Resources and Support
The Ossila Spin Coating Kit includes a spin coater and syringe pump, 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 an Ossila syringe pump with the versatility of an 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 designed to be used in labs, with solvent-safe components throughout.
The bundle comes with a free all-in-one spin coater chuck and is available with any combination of our syringe pump and spin coater models. Choose the right system to fit your research needs and avoid any unnecessary features.

Spin Coater Chuck Specifications
L2001U1/L2001U2 Standard Spin Coater Chuck (PP/PTFE)
Our new standard chuck incorporates all the most commonly used substrates into its design including our 20mm x 15mm, 25mm x 25mm (1" x 1"), 50mm x 50mm (2" x 2"), and 75mm x 25mm (3" x 1" / microscope slides). The chuck can be purchased made from either polypropylene, or PTFE depending on your application.
Our new standard chucks utilize our new rimmed edge design to help improve air flow uniformity within the spin bowl and help to reduce solvent build up within the bowl. At the same time our new improved simplified drainage channels reduces buffeting during spin coating improving stability of the chuck. In addition, finger cutouts allow for the easy removal of chucks allowing you to change them up for different experiments.
Custom Chucks
Custom chucks are available at a discounted price with the purchase of a spin coater, but can also be purchased separately. Please contact us to discuss your needs, specifying the length, width, and height of each substrate. Alternatively, STL, STEP, and SLDPRT files (for AutoCAD / FreeCAD and SolidWorks respectively) are freely available to download should you wish to create your own chucks.

** 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.
| Syringe Volume | Syringe Diameter | Minimum Flow Rate | Maximum Flow Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 µl | 0.103 mm | 0.1 nl.s-1 (0.14 µl.hr-1) | 41 nl.s-1 (0.15 ml.hr-1) |

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
There are many thin film applications that require more precise control over solution deposition. 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 synthesizing multilayered structures, a dual pump syringe pump is invaluable.
Multiple Modes of Operation
You can use the spin coater and syringe pump 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 crystallization 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 along with the 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.
