Customized Lab Robot

Our robotic base platform provides transport capabilities for objects and inks including a software interface that allows to shape customized experimental procedures. Just approach us with your needs and we will find a solution to bring your process on our platforms!

Our competence includes:

liquid handling (mixing, shaking, heating, stirring…)
substrate handling (glass, wafers…)
film deposition from solution (spincoating, doctor blading, drop casting,…) or using vacuum deposition systems
optical, electronic and morphological measurement techniques for solutions, thin films and full devices
