About Us

Ni-Lo Scientific was founded in 2015 by two postdocs from Ottawa, Canada. We were looking for spin coaters to use in our laboratory which used vacuum stages to hold the sample on during rotation and we were shocked by the prices (over 5x our system!). Therefore we decided to start to build our own. low cost spin coaters which are ideal for R&D work. In fact we use the same model of spin coater in our lab daily!

 

Cheaper systems were made of flammable plastic that were not chemical resistant and used double sided tape to hold the sample on, resulting in sticky residue on the rear of the samples as well as brittle samples such as silicon breaking upon removal. Our spin coaters do not have this problem, and at a fraction of the price of other commercial systems.

 

We have a wide range of experience in using spin coaters to produce thin layers on a variety of substrates, and we would be happy to answer any questions or give any advice that you may need. We have extensive experience in the semiconductor industry, catalysis and optics.​
