We are having a proxy reader installed on the back door of the INRF. Users will be able to access the cleanroom using their existing INRF/BION card during normal hours and afterhours for those that are qualified.

Message from Facilities:
 

As you are aware we are experiencing some humidity control issues at the BION facility.
The humidifiers have been working fine for several months now but two weeks ago we started to experience unexplained failures.
Since we have never had any official training on these units I contracted with the factory representative to come out to repair the units and provide training. They will be out Tuesday of next week.
The OSA RH has been very low for the last couple of days which has compounded the problem but forecast higher humidity will offer some relief.

We thank you for your patience,
INRF/BION Staff

Notes from our Super User:

If you are going to use a recipe that is not standard (so none of the following: O2 Clean, Process A or Process B) they should be aware to change the APC to maintain the usual operating pressure and change the platen etch (the new software multiplies by 10 the saved recipe)

Please check with staff before operating the equipment if the above statement does not make sense to you.

Thanks,
INRF/BION Staff

It will be held next week at the normal time.

Jake will be out tomorrow (11/13/13) and will be back a little bit late on Thursday. The wet benches will be down during this time.

Best,
INRF/BION Staff

The INRF and BiON will be closed on Monday for Veteran’s Day observance.

Thanks!

INRF Staff

From Facilities:

The failed cooling fan on the VFD has been replaced and the system is operating normally.

The benches are now back open for use. Continue to keep an eye out for any alarms in case this should happen again in the future.

Thanks,
INRF/BION Staff
