Used MARCH PCM #9194675 for sale

MARCH PCM is an etcher - also referred to as an asher - that performs plasma chemical etching to create physical microfluidics devices such as optical chips, biosensors, lab-on-chips, and fluidic microstructures. It is designed to deal with the high aspect ratio etching processes needed to create microfluidic features with critical aspect ratios. It is also capable of achieving increasingly precise results with minimum waste. PCM works by precisely controlling the pressure and gas flow induced into the reaction chamber. This helps to create an optimum etchant atmosphere that allows for precise, repeatable etching results. The precise mixture of etching gases enables a compromise between etching speed and uniformity of etched features. This etcher is also equipped with an elegant design and high quality glassware. This helps users to visually assess their process and get accurate results without the hassle of dealing with oversized glassware. An important aspect of MARCH PCM is its PLC panel. This software is used for controlling the etching parameters and to monitor them in real-time. This ensures that the user can control the etching process precisely and repeatably. The panel also allows users to remotely control their process and monitor production remotely. PCM is capable of etching glass, silicon, quartz, and various polymer substrates with a few additional inert gases such as Argon and Helium. These inert gases are heated to form ions and neutral species which help to form physical microfluidic structures. Typically, the etching process is done in the range of 430- 470°C depending on the type of substrate being etched. Moreover, MARCH PCM has an advanced chemical delivery system and an integrated scrubber. This ensures efficient, cleaner and more precise etching of the substrates by reducing the occurrence of contaminants. This etcher has an advanced safety mechanism which can shut down the system if the pressure gets too high and safeguards the user from potential hazards or gas spills. Finally, PCM is an excellent option for those looking for precise etching of microfluidic components. With its precise etching and advanced safety and control measures, it can surely provide quality, efficient and clean etching results.
