LUXOR sputter coaters are purpose-built for SEM sample preparation in research labs and industrial facilities worldwide. Gold, platinum and carbon models available. One-touch operation, consistent ultra-thin coatings, built to last.
Options: Gold, Platinum and Carbon
Choose your LUXOR coater
LUXORAu
Gold sputter coater for SEM imaging up to 50,000x. The most cost-effective SEM coater for routine lab workflows. Also accepts gold/palladium targets.
LUXORC
Carbon coater for SEM EDX/EDS elemental analysis and TEM work. Carbon coating SEM preparation does not introduce interfering peaks into elemental spectra, making it the right choice for chemical analysis.
LUXORPt
High-resolution platinum sputter coater for FEG-SEM imaging above 50,000x. The right sputter machine when grain size matters most. Also accepts gold and Au/Pd targets.

What makes LUXOR coaters different
Fully automated operation
Select your coating thickness and press start. Every LUXOR coater handles the complete coating process automatically.
Upside-down design
The upside-down target and sample positioning design keeps your SEM column well protected, operators safe, and allows for effortless operation across different sample types.
3D coating
Coat complex three-dimensional structures without a turbomolecular pump or a planetary/rotating stage, while preventing sample charging and protecting beam-sensitive specimens.
Compact stand-alone benchtop units
Compact, stand-alone instruments that fit any lab bench. Dedicated models for gold, platinum and carbon mean greater flexibility and contamination-free operation.
Smart, innovative vacuum coater
Pre-mounted targets and a tool-free sample holder make the LUXOR sputter coater straightforward from day one. Lower ownership costs, intuitive operation, and a sputtering coating machine built to last.
Triple functionality
The LUXOR sputter coating machine goes beyond coating, with a high-vacuum outgassing mode and a drying mode for sensitive biological samples.
