Ossila Spin Coater, User Manual

1. Overview

The vacuum-free Ossila Spin Coater is part of the Institute of Physics award-winning Solar Cell Prototyping 
Platform*. Unlike most other models in the market, it does not need a vacuum pump or nitrogen line – 
therefore requiring less servicing and enabling you to produce high-quality coatings without the problems 
of substrate warping. Compact & portable, the Spin Coater will help you optimise space in the glovebox or 
on the workbench without compromising on functionality – making it the ideal solution for busy labs with 
limited space.

Substrates are held firmly on the chuck without the need for a vacuum. This produces a better uniform thin-
film coating across the substrate.  The Ossila Spin Coater is operated via a built-in interactive user interface. 

During a cycle, the product recipe number, spinning speed, and remaining time are displayed on the full-
colour display screen –  so you do not need an external PC connection.

*The Ossila Solar Cell Prototyping Platform is a complementary collection of substrates, materials, & equipment as part of a 
high-performance standard photovoltaic reference architecture. This platform enables researchers to produce high-quality, 
fully-functional solar cells which can be used as a reliable baseline.
