INRF Users,
Today there was a blown cylinder head on one of the compressors for the lab compressed air. As a result the lab compressed air is down and OFFLINE. It looks like this will be the case at least until Monday 7/17/17 but it could be offline for another week or more. We can update again as soon as we know more.

All INRF and BiON Users,
Reminder: Both INRF and BiON lab entrances are now done through the Forged System via Chrome
All equipment in both the INRF and BiON are also now operated through the Forged System via Chrome.
*There should be no more instances of the past Legacy System in operation, either for tools or for Lab Log in.
Please do NOT start playing around with netbooks or computers looking for the Legacy System or changing computer settings.
Please do NOT access the Latch System.
Please do NOT modify hardware (cables, latch boxes, etc).
Please only use the Chrome browser and the Forged website on lab computers and netbooks.
Everything is now universally done through the Forged System via Chrome.
If you have an issue with Forged system operation, please first check that your User Profile is fully complete, updated, and accurate. Then once that is verified contact staff for assistance vs. trying to change things yourself.
While we’re on the topic of Forged: Occasionally there may be rare internet disconnects (none have been reported today), and may find a computer with the internet disconnected logo shown below.
If you find that this is the case, please Right Click on the wireless and “Disconnect”. After waiting a few seconds, you can Right Click again and “Connect”.
Notice to Users using HF:
We are seeing an increased usage of 48% HF being used. All 48% HF must be processed in Teflon containers not poly Styrofoam and in addition these containers must be in a secondary container so as to keep the entire system and process in double containment.
The INRF does not provide Teflon containers so users must provide their own.
