Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility

This Friday, Praxair will be connecting a temporary nitrogen tank trailer in order to keep the lines active during Mondays removal/install. This will impact visitor parking in the Calit2 loading lock (the loading dock will still be accessible). Jake will start shutting down most equipment starting Thursday night and then bring them back up once the install is complete. The cleanrooms will remain open during this time.

The tentative dates for the nitrogen tank removal at Calit2 are June 8th and 9th. During this time we plan to keep the nitrogen supply lines active but at a reduced output until the install is complete. The INRF & BION cleanrooms will remain open however some equipment will be taken offline. We are still working out the details so we will post any changes that arise.

Nitrogen Tank Schedule of Events

The pump for the STS tripped out this morning due to high chillwater temps. We are going to use this time to complete some much needed maintenance on the equipment. We have no estimate at this time as to when it will be back up. We will let you know ASAP.

There is no DI water in the INRF Cleanroom. Facilities has been notified. This does not affect the BION.

This is a reminder that the Weekly User Meeting will be held tomorrow (Wednesday) in Engineering Gateway rm. 3311 @ 1:30pm. This is open for users of the INRF/BION to meet with staff to get weekly updates on equipment status, cleanroom projects and other issues regarding the cleanrooms.

The Ebeam 1 is now back online. Thank you for your patience.

INRF Staff

The Ebeam1 will be taken off line tonight for a cryo regen. We will send out a post when it is back up on Thursday.

Starting May 6th the Weekly User Meeting will return. This is open for users of the INRF/BION to meet with staff to get weekly updates on equipment status, cleanroom projects and other issues regarding the cleanrooms.

  • When: Every Wednesday @ 1:30 pm starting 05/06/15

The Mark 50 will be down a little big longer than anticipated for a more thorough cleaning and we will hopefully have it back up by mid next week. We will let you know once its back up.
