STA-200S is a benchtop vacuum melt spinning system for preparing amorphous metallic ribbons up to 2000℃. Air-sensitive samples can be prepared inside the glove box and transferred to the melt-spinning system without exposure to the air via a transfer tank. With a direct couple with the glove box, the sample collection process can also be completed inside a glove box.
