The presence of an Infra-Red dryer in it. Inside the unit there is an infrared heater, which offers a maximum temperature of 200°C from ambient. After each dip, the Infrared heater helps in drying the substrate. It provides uniform heating to the substrate. The temperature is swiftly attained so that the time taken for the dipping process is greatly reduced. The coating thickness can be easily controlled by adjusting the withdrawal rate and the viscosity of the coating solution. Another advantage of this model is that it minimizes the energy consumption as the heater will be activated only after detecting the substrate and hence it can provide the substrate with accurate temperature.

Dip coating applications include:

Multilayer sensor coatings

Implant functionalist

Hydro gels

Sol-Gel nano particle coatings

Self-assembled mono layers

Layer-by-layer nano particle assemblies.

Stylus profilometers use a probe to detect the surface, physically moving a probe along the surface in order to acquire the surface height. This is done mechanically with a feedback loop that monitors the force from the sample pushing up against the probe as it scans along the surface. A diamond stylus is moved vertically in contact with a sample and then moved laterally across the sample for a specified distance and specified contact force. A profilometer can measure small surface variations in vertical stylus displacement as a function of position. A typical profilometer can measure small vertical features ranging in height from 10 nanometres to 1 millimetre. The height position of the diamond stylus generates an analog signal which is converted into a digital signal, stored, analyzed, and displayed. The radius of diamond stylus ranges from 20 nanometres to 50 μm, and the horizontal resolution is controlled by the scan speed and data signal sampling rate. The stylus tracking force can range from less than 1 to 50 milligrams.

A 3D profilometer is precise extremely compact equipment for performing surface analysis in materials research. Resolution - 0.8µm, With LAS 20 nearly all material and surfaces can be scanned directly without any contact over the surface.

The Bioluminometer allows to instantly verify the microbial contamination of a surface or a liquid, with a bioluminescent reaction.It "read" a light signal that is an output from a sampling device that was passed on the contaminated surface or in the water to be analyzed. During the sampling, the sampling device picks up a cellular molecule, I'ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is present in all living organisms. When I'ATP is placed in contact with the reaction mixture present in the sampling tube (containing luciferin and luciferase), a reaction takes place that leads to the production of light (photons). This light is measured by the luminometer and converted into a numerical value shown on the display. Higher the microbial contamination is, higher the amount of ATP collection was and, consequently, higher the light produced and the value measured by luminometer would be higher.

These high quality portable spectrophotometers measure light reflected from a given surface or object. Konica Minolta's portable handheld spectrophotometers can be used to measure solid, opaque, clear, or even translucent samples.
