Discussion Group Participants,
I am about to purchase a Critical Point Dryer for use in stiction-free
release of microstructures. Due to the variety of devices available, I
would appreciate any comments from CPD users/owners regarding the pros and
cons of different configurations. There seems to be a large difference
between the fully contained desktop models and horizontal pressure chamber
models, as well as variation within each group.
The vendors I have consulted so far are:
Energy Beam Sciences for the E3100 & CPD7501.
Denton Vacuum for the DCP-1.
Bal-Tec for the CPD 030.
Emitech USA for the K-850.
Tousimis for various models.
Any advice would be welcome!
Sincerely,
