Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility

Room 1411 will be closed today (9/25/13). We are having work done to automate the Laminar Flow Benches. The BION lab will be fully shut down this Saturday (9/28/13) to complete the rest of the facility. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The INRF Air Handler (#7) will be shutdown at 6am on Thursday, 9/26/13, for the entire day and will be back up at the end of the day on 9/26/13.

The INRF cleanroom will remain open, but please know that the temperature and humidity in the cleanroom will be affected and could cause equipment to be out of specifications. The photo area will be most affected, so it’s in your best interest to schedule any photo work tomorrow or Friday.

For future equipment training or qualification, please begin using the attached new version. It includes the new requirement for qualification to use the wet benches in the BiON and a column for training initials. Old logs will be kept in our records, so re-submitting for tools you are qualified to use is not necessary.
