The control software for the Research Laboratory Coater (RLC) enables setup of processing parameters and logging of processing data which is essential for documentations and reporting. 

The software can also control the integrated syringe pumps for full pump control and data logging. Several syringe pumps can be connected to the RLC and thus one can perform automated gradient and/or dilution experiments in one go.

PC control of the RLC platform is perfect when working the system from remote - like in a glove box or at synchrotron beamlines.

The Research Laboratory Coater

The Research Laboratory Coater serves as the innovative cornerstone for producing films with your materials and inks, employing a diverse array of deposition techniques including slot-die, flexo, knife, bar, and more. It represents a comprehensive, ready-to-use system that begins with a basic single-axis slot-die coating setup, allowing for gradual incorporation of additional functionalities and complexities.

Compact in size, the Research Laboratory Coater offers a versatile, open platform adaptable to a myriad of experimental endeavors yet to be explored. Its flexibility enables installation in various lab settings, whether within a fume cupboard, on a bench, or even within a glovebox.

Our offerings encompass a wide spectrum of printing and slot-die coating machinery, ranging from economical, space-efficient systems to large-scale manufacturing setups tailored for the production of printed functional materials. These materials span a diverse range including solar cells, Perovskite, OPV, PSC, fuel cells, printed batteries, Li-ion electrodes, transistors, LEDs, sensors, and beyond.
