Tool missing
by Miller, Timothy J 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

The wrench that is used to change the blades on the Disco dicing saw is missing. It is an Allen wrench with a blue T-handle. This particular wrench was dedicated to the dicing saw to reduce worries about cross-contamination, etc. Would the person who removed the wrench please return it ASAP. Thank-you Tim

Dear All BNC Users: The semiannual shutdown of the Birck Nanotechnology Center will take place Monday through Friday, May 2-6, 2011. The Cleanroom and Laboratories will be closed at 7:00 a.m. Monday morning. If all goes according to our plan, they will reopen at 11:00 AM Friday morning. If issues arise, they may be closed for some or all of Friday, May 6. To help us prepare for the maintenance work on the exhaust systems, please remove all material from all fume hoods prior to the shutdown. NOTE: ANY MATERIAL LEFT IN THE HOODS AT THE TIME OF SHUTDOWN WILL BE DISCARDED. The Friday startup times for the cleanroom and laboratories apply to the facility, not necessarily the equipment. During this shutdown week the process tools and equipment will also be undergoing preventative maintenance. Please check Coral for equipment startup times. Thank you for your cooperation during this important preventive maintenance shutdown. Mark Voorhis Ron Reger Steve Jurss Building Manager Process & Equipment Manager Safety Manager

IMPORTANT: Lab Chair outside of lab
by Weaver, John R 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

A laboratory chair was found in the atrium in a seating area, just outside of BRK 2001. It is very important that laboratory chairs NOT be moved from the laboratories. This is a health and safety issue, not just a logistics issue. Thanking you in advance for your cooperation in this matter, John John R. Weaver Facility Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University jrweaver(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jrweaver@purdue.edu> nano.purdue.edu
