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


Spin Coater adapter

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.

Why Use a Syringe Pump to Dispense Solutions when Spin Coating


Spin coating is one of the most popular techniques for creating thin-films. The method is quick, accurate, and easy to control. A spin coater like the Ossila Spin Coater allows you to control the spin speed and save recipes with up to 50 steps, and therefore allows you to create films of various thicknesses. However, without a syringe pump, the solution must be manually dispensed (typically by using a pipette) and it is therefore difficult to control the rate, volume, and timing with which the solution is applied to the substrate. This makes it difficult to accurately reproduce a given experiment. In addition, a number of advanced spin coating techniques require set volumes of multiple different solutions to be added at controlled rates, at different times during the process.

The new adapter for the Ossila Spin Coater allows up to four separate streams of solution into the Spin Coater through the provided tubing, along with a hole for standard coating through the centre. By combining the Syringe Pump and Spin Coater, complex multi-step processes can be easily carried out with a high level of repeatability.

Key Features

Built-In Software

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Unbeatable Value

Unbeatable Value

The spin coating kit offers unbeatable value. Available for less than the two units can be bought seperately, the package also includes the Spin Coater Adapter plus PTFE tubing, solvent-resistant syringes, blunt needles, and one free spin coater chuck. Order yours today.

Applications

Our spin coating kit can be used for everything that Ossila Spin Coater and the Ossila Syringe Pump can be used for independently, but also brings new options for spin coating processes that use more than one solvent (we recommend that you choose the dual syringe pump model for the maximum amount of control in these cases) or require automated dispensing with precise timings, solvent volumes, or dispensing rate of flow.

Examples of spin coating processes which require automated dispensing include:

  • Perovskite anti-solvent quenching by dispensing solvent a precise amount time after the initial solution
  • Rapid multi-layer coating
  • In-situ reactions of components during coating
  • Pre-coating surfaces with a carrier solvent or monolayer to improve wetting

Adapter, Connectors, Chuck, and Accessories

Spin Coater Adapter

Spin Coater Adapter

The Spin Coater adapter for Syringe Pumps, only available as part of this offer, makes it easy to use the Ossila Spin Coater with a syringe pump. The part fits into the dispensing hole in the spin coater lid and holds up to four 2.5 cm (1 inch) needles in position above the substrate.

The centre of the adapter features a small opening to allow for precise solution deposition for manual dispensing.

Ossila Spin Coater Chuck

Ossila Spin Coater Chuck

The Ossila Spin Coater chuck holds the substrate in place during the spin coating process, without the need for a costly vacuum (which are a common source of substrate warping). Choose a chuck to match the size substrate you use, or contact us for a custom chuck. If you have access to a 3D printer, you can also print your own chucks using our freely available STL and SLDPRT designs.

For more information, please see the Spin Coater Chuck product page.

Disposable syringes

Solvent-Resistant Syringes

The spin coating kit comes with everything you need to get started, including fifteen 5 ml Norm-Ject Disposable Luer Lock Syringes. We recommend using these syringes as they have an all plastic solvent-resistant construction with a tight seal that does not use rubber.

See the disposable syringe product page for more information.

Disposable syringes

PTFE tubing and Blunt Needles

To connect everything together, the bundle includes five lengths of PTFE tubing with Luer Lock adapters on each end. These connect to the syringes on one end, and a needle on the other, which then goes into the Spin Coater adapter. Fifty blunt needles are included (20 Gauge, 1 inch Length) to get you started.

Spin Coating: Complete Guide to Theory and Techniques 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.
