RotaQ S Sputter Coater (Rotary Pumped)
The RotaQ S is a dedicated, fully automated rotary-pumped sputter coater from Quorum Technologies, designed for high-quality noble metal sputtering (Au, Pd, Pt). Optimized for benchtop SEMs and Tungsten/LaB6 electron microscopes, it features a standard 50mm tilting stage to ensure uniform coating of complex 3D samples. With its integrated Film Thickness Monitor (FTM) and rapid cycle times, the RotaQ S is the ideal solution for busy labs requiring consistent conductive coatings for SEM imaging.

Comprehensive Features of RotaQ S
-
Noble Metal Sputtering Optimized for coating non-conductive samples with Gold, Platinum, or Palladium for clear SEM imaging.
-
Standard 50mm Tilt Stage Ensures uniform coating of complex 3D structures and fracture surfaces, preventing charging artifacts.
-
Film Thickness Monitor (FTM) Standard inclusion allows precise termination of coating runs at a pre-set thickness (e.g., 10nm).
-
Pre-Set & Custom Recipes Store multiple user protocols for consistent results across different operators and sample types.
-
Rapid Cycle Times Fast pump-down and automated venting maximize throughput for busy material science and biology labs.
Applications: Microscopy & Analysis
-
Tungsten / LaB6 SEM Imaging Provides a high-quality conductive layer to eliminate charging on insulators like polymers and ceramics.
-
Biological Sample Prep Low-heat sputtering protects delicate biological tissues while enhancing secondary electron signal.
-
Non-Conductive Materials Essential for imaging glass, plastics, and geological samples in conventional scanning electron microscopes.
RotaQ S Frequently Asked Questions
The RotaQ S is a cost-effective rotary pumped system. Please click "Get Quote" for the current price in India.
No, the RotaQ S is a dedicated Sputter Coater. For combined sputtering and carbon evaporation, please see the **RotaQ ES** model.
The system requires a rotary pump (e.g., 5 m³/hr). We can supply the correct pump and oil mist filter as a complete package.
It is compatible with standard 57mm disc targets including Gold (Au), Gold/Palladium (Au/Pd), Platinum (Pt), and Silver (Ag).
