[labnetwork] Litho Spinner

[Michael Khbeis]

Len,

Ever expanding resume... hope all is well.  The Headway's are a bit more pricey, but their D-style chuck mounts are very convenient.  Laurell's are a good product. Recently, we bought some tabletop SCS spinners, and all I can say is "eh".  It uses the Headway chuck design (interchangable) but they aren't the greatest units - acrylic lids that start to crack and they have a really finicky lid interlock and lid port that induces spin non-uniformity.  I do have some Suss LabSpin 8 units that are very nice, but were also 2x in price plus the electropolished hotplates.  I bought them with syringe dispense and EBR - both of which my folks don't use because of process instability with the dispensers. 

Best,
