Disc Coating System
Semi porous discs are coated with solution to seal from biological ingress. The coating, which once dried dissolves on contact with water, is applied accurately to the centre of each disc. The disc is held in place using vacuum and is spun at up to 2500rpm to coat its surface. The discs, once coated, are stored and dried in racks for later manual removal. Each disc had a uniform coating thanks to the spinning algorithm. All this takes place in a high category clean room.
Main Features
- Storage of enough discs for overnight operation
- Minimal footprint
- 6 spinners running parallel processes to reduce cycletime
- Liquid handling precision within +/- 50ul
- Spinners rotating up to 2500rpm
