Mutech Microsystems
Mutech offers projects, systems and equipment for the promotion of science, technology and education in the areas of microfabrication, micro and nano mechanics and electronics. The company is interested in promoting, through the development and commercialization of high-tech equipment, the training of quality human resources, to simplify the generation of new knowledge and to improve the access of the productive sector to new technology.µCoater is a very easy to use and full of features benchtop spin coater, it includes an integrated vacuum system with a rotating vacuum chuck for holding the substrates to coat while spinning. You don't need an external vacuum pump. it's integrated inside. It has an all metal body construction (steel and aluminum) with a polypropylene vacuum chuck, the inside of the spinning bowl is coated with a PTFE based material which is very easy to clean. It uses a high quality outrunner brushless motor. These type of motors are very efficient and have very low static friction resulting in a long lifetime.
