Anyone who wants to use the spin coater has to contact Michael Arcidiacono ({{slack-user|mixarcid}}) or one of the bio team coleads first. The spin coater is a new addition to the SSI toolset, and no standardized access has been set up as of yet. It's ''essential'' to contact the appropriate personnel before using the spin coater: we want to keep our Durand access!

Make sure you're wearing safety glasses when using the spinner! Glasses are on the wall to the right when you enter the room. Bring a micropipette and a small, lightweight piece of glass/plastic to spin on. The spinner uses a vacuum to keep the slide on the rotating bit, so no special attachment is necessary. But, if your slide that you're loading is too heavy, it won't work. Use light pieces of glass/plastic!

Loading a spin pattern on the PWM32 means making a recipe. A recipe has 1 to 9 steps, each one with its own RPM and duration. For basic use, we only need to change 1 step for our desired speed and duration.
