Link to the Organic and Green Technologies Group
Wake Forest has a long history in organic device fabrication. Together with other tools of the Lab, the Organic Device Fabrication Core provides the specialized instruments necessary for construction of state-of-the-art organic devices. Specifically, the facility allows for manipulation of organics (small molecule and polymers), contact formation, and encapsulation of devices all within controlled atmospheres. Other specialized capabilities include: electronic organics printing (DIMATIX), fiber draw coater, spray coating systems, and organic synthesis.
Glass cutting setups for preparation of glass/ITO/FTO substrates used in transparent devices
Automated draw blades for large scale thin films. These systems give access to intermediate thickness' in polymer films
SCS P6700 programmable spinner
Chemat mini spinner for use in glove box
Glovebox 1 is a basic Braun unit used for testing organic devices, lifetime determinations, sealant applications etc.
Glovebox 2 Is our fabrication box with a turbo pumped evaporator mounted inside plus spinners, hotplates, scales for organic device builds
Spray deposition system using airbrushes.
Chemat draw tower for fiber coatings
Probe and bath ultrasonic stations for mixing
FUJI DIMATIX electronics printer with pL heads.
Organics dedicated thermal evaporator. Denton 502 refurbished by NanoFabrik specifically for use with organic devices
Thermo Scientific vacuum oven
Biotage flash chromatography
scales/balances, Mettler Toledo
TGA Perkin Elmer
UV-Vis Perkin Elmer lambda 2. This is an older system which works well but is scheduled for replacement shortly.
The Organics Lab has a full scale synthesis facility for the construction of a wide variety of organic molecules and polymers.
there are 9 of these videos on the DIMATIX
The fabrication glovebox is based on a VAC Dri-Lab that has been refurbished and upgraded to include an evaporator and a variety of environmental monitors + a whole lot of fabrication goodies. Nearly any kind of device can be built in the system. REGEN MANUAL and SYSTEM MANUAL.
