Parylene Coater The parylene coater is down due to a vacuum pump failure. A new pump is being expedited through purchasing and we expect it to arrive next week, at which time we will immediately install it and get the parylene system back to operation. Please check Coral for availability next week. Room Wizards Our Room Wizard conference room scheduling system is off-line due to a network issue. We reported this to ECN who told us that this problem also appears across campus with Room Wizards in other Purdue buildings. ECN is working to repair the issue. Survey Input A user commented this week that the SEM areas appear at times to be dirty, and should be kept cleaner. We will provide cleaning wipes for use in the SEM prep and analysis rooms, and this will become part of the training for new users. Chemical Delivery It has been brought to our attention that in some instances it has taken 2-3 day to receive materials after they have arrived at Birck. In order to improve efficiency and provide better service when ordering the following information can be included in the "ship to address". Please include the name of the individual user and the laboratory room # or note it will be going to the cleanroom or bio-cleanroom. This will assist in getting material to their final destination as quickly as possible. When a chemical shipment arrives, Mary Jo will notify Ira and the researcher the chemical is supposed to be delivered to. It is ok for the researcher to pick up the chemical before Ira does as long as safety protocols are followed. In this case, it will be the responsibility of the individual researchers to notify the Birck safety officer of any concerns, update the MSDS as needed, and help Ira login the arrival of the chemical to BRK. Best Dimitri Gloves use It has been brought to our attention that we seem to be using an excess amount of acid gloves. Just a reminder for both the general labs and the cleanroom, the orange acid gloves are re-usable unless they have been used for piranha cleaning. In addition Ira marks them inside of the each week and will replace them after a number of weeks. These gloves can be rinsed, wiped dry and re-used unless damaged or show signs of deterioration. Please help to reduce the cost of facility operation. This will benefit everyone in the long run. Wireless Receivers For the next week we will be replacing wireless receivers within the building. Please be patient with any interruptions you may incur. Any questions or concerns please see Mary Jo Totten.

04 Feb '16

Everyone, Next week we will be getting new phones in the building. We are one of the first buildings to be switched over to the new phones. We will have technicians in starting Tuesday to start the installation process. I have attached a couple of flyers from the phone office for your information. There are some new features, but for normal purposes, the phones will work just the same. Please feel free to ask any questions and thank you for your patience and understanding during this conversion. Thank you, Mary Jo Totten Birck Nanotechnology Center Discovery Park/Purdue University 1205 West State Street BRK 1220 West Lafayette, IN 47907-2057 (765) 496-1173
