Gaertner
The Gaertner L116SF is an ellipsometer. The Gaertner L116SF was used to measure film thickness. The Gaertner L116SF was equipped with a He-Ne laser at 632.8 nm and set at an incident angle of 70°.[1]
The Gaertner L116SF is a vapor-phase deposition system used for surface modification of silicon and polydimethylsiloxane surfaces.[1]
The Gaertner L116SF is used for depositing fluorosilane films on silicon and PDMS surfaces to control hydrophobicity and reduce undesired protein adsorption or cell interactions.[1]
The equipment is suitable for micro- and nanofluidic devices that use silicon-based materials or PDMS, including structures with nanochannels.[1]
