Gardco Automatic Drawdown Machine II Precision Speed Film Applicator Coater 1-18 IPS
Product Description
The Gardco Automatic Drawdown Machine II is a precision automatic film applicator engineered for consistent and reproducible surface coating applications, widely used in biotechnology laboratories and material science research for testing paint, ink, and polymer coatings. It supports multiple applicator styles including Microm, Bird, and wire-wound rods, essential for standardized film thickness in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing coating validation.
Key technical features include:
- Adjustable speed range from 1.0 to 18.0 inches per second (IPS) in 0.1 IPS increments, enabling precise control over shear rates critical in biopharmaceutical formulation coatings.
- Programmable stroke lengths from 0.1 to 16 inches, allowing customization for diverse substrate sizes and application requirements.
- A 12 x 18 inch glass plate working surface, with an optional vacuum plate to stabilize variable paint chart dimensions during coating operations.
- High repeatability with speed variation under 0.01 inch per second, ensuring reliable and reproducible results vital for synthetic biology workflows requiring consistent surface coatings.
- Operates on 115/230 V, 50/60 Hz power supplies, suitable for global laboratory environments.
This device’s precise mechanical control over stroke length and speed makes it critical for surface coating testing in clinical diagnostics labs, biomanufacturing validation, and live-cell imaging substrate preparations. Its design minimizes operator variability common in manual drawdown methods, providing consistent shear application and film thickness, improving quality control and material performance assessment in biotechnology and industrial research settings.
Given its specialized function, the Gardco Automatic Drawdown Machine II is recognized as an essential instrument for laboratories focused on coating uniformity analysis, fluorescence assay surface preparation, and molecular cloning workflow optimizations where thin, reproducible films are necessary.
