Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility

 

HF & Inorganic rooms will be close tomorrow (7/1) and Tuesday (7/5) in the morning until 12pm. No staff will be in the lab during that time and to err on the side of caution we will have those rooms closed.

There are way too many poly containers with various etchants being stored underneath the bench in the Metal Etch room. Please come in and review if these are still needed/expired and dispose of them accordingly. If they are still in use please make sure they are labeled and have a current date.

MA6 is down

Today the contractors will continue painting the front office area so the office will be closed. There will be no front office staff on site. The INRF/BION cleanrooms will remain open and lab staff will be available at their usual times.

Tomorrow the contractors will start painting the front office area so office will be closed. There will be no front office staff on site. The INRF/BION cleanrooms will remain open and lab staff will be available at their usual times.

Due to the Central Plant hot water shutdown the INRF is extremely cold. Please review your process and if you believe that it might be affected please wait until we get notice that the heat is back on. Below is the message from Facilities

Engineering Community,

During startup of the high temperature hot water, Central Plant experienced a critical systems failure that will cause the high temp system to be down for up to another two days. Building heat, autoclaves, cage washers and industrial and domestic hot water will continue to be out of service during this time. I will forward an update once I am notified.

Due to the flood in the front office the contractors will be dry-walling and painting all day today.

The INRF cleanroom will be closed tomorrow in order for Facilities to work on the compressor. BION will remain open.

Tomorrow morning at approximately 8am facilities will be adding a new N2, lab air and vacuum line to the room for the dicing saw. We don’t expect there to be any downtime but just pay attention when working in there to make sure everything is working properly. Ill post again if there are any updates.
