Batch Plasma Processing

Multi-sample RF cleaning with a gas-shower electrode.

PLUTO-M pairs a 200 W RF source with an ~8L chamber and a 125 x 125 mm perforated gas-shower plate, which admits process gas through the electrode face rather than a side inlet.

Batch Cleaning

Process multi-sample batches in a ~8L stainless steel chamber.

~2x PLUTO-T capacity2 gas lines standard

Gas-Shower Electrode

Process gas enters through the perforated electrode face rather than a side inlet.

O2 / N2 / Ar1 W power precision

Included Vacuum

The two-stage rotary pump ships with the system rather than as an option.

VRD-4, 4 m3/hFully automated runs

Use Cases

Built for mid-capacity batch plasma workflows.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PLUTO-M different from PLUTO-T?

PLUTO-M doubles the chamber volume to ~8L for multi-sample batches, adds a second gas line as standard, uses a perforated gas-shower electrode in place of a solid plate, and includes the two-stage vacuum pump that is an option on PLUTO-T. PLUTO-T is the compact single-sample entry point.

Can PLUTO-M be purchased directly?

Yes. PLUTO-M can be ordered directly, and institutional buyers can also request a budgetary quote for PO-based purchasing.
