This causes photoresist fumes to be noticed in the photolithography aisles. We have submitted a work order to build vents for all the unvented photoresist waste cans in order to exhaust the fumes safely out and away from users. This work is to be scheduled in the near future. Refrigerator Clean out The refrigerator will be cleaned out on Monday, August 1st at 2:00 pm. If something is out dated or looks old, has no name or label on it, the item will be thrown away. Questions or concerns, see Nancy Black.

Advanced Circuits The business office has noticed an uptick of requests to use a credit card to make purchases with Advanced Circuits. Advanced Circuits is a vender in Ariba therefore these orders should not be placed on a credit card. E-Beam Resist A user asked why we don't stock different e-beam resists, such as ZEP520A. We have not stocked ZEP due to the expense of purchasing it. A quart of ZEP520A costs $10,500, and is much more expensive than PMMA A4. Additional specialty developers, rinses and removers are also required adding to the already high cost. We encourage the few Zep users to acquire their own supply of the resist. As for XR1541 6% we typically have this in stock, but it has been depleted and we will get an order started but it may take a few weeks to receive it. In the meantime there are supplies of XR1541 2% & 4% available in the refrigerator. Also, it would be a great help to all of us for users to notify the staff when bottles of photoresists and other chemicals are first emptied. Many times users return empty bottles into storage, even into the back of storage cabinets or hoods, and it is not known to order more. Notifying us of empty bottles would be greatly appreciated so that supplies can be continuously available. 2nd floor Grad Offices We will be scrubbing and waxing the 2nd floor graduate student offices on August 17th and 18th. We will post a sign on your office door as to which day your office will be done. You MUST move everything up off of the floor that you do not want to get wet and ruined. We will move your office chairs out to the hallway. On these days, you will not have access to your office from 5:00AM - 11:45AM. Thank you for helping us keep Birck beautiful.

3D Cell Culture Training Course - August 25 &26 2016
by Kwok, Tim 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Dear Colleagues, The 3D Cell Culture Core (3D3C) facility organized the first hands-on training workshop for basic 3D cell culture techniques on June 16 and 17, 2016. The workshop was a success. Since after our initial call it was rapidly over-subscribed and to accommodate those who were not able to enroll, the facility is planning to hold another hands-on training workshop on August 25 and 26, 2016. The workshop will be similar to the June workshop covering some basic techniques for work with tumors or other types of tissues that require the formation of masses or spheroids. The prerequisites to attend the workshop are sufficient knowledge in standard (2D) cell culture techniques, REM biosafety training and blood-borne-pathogen training. The course fee is $350 per person from Purdue University (please contact me for fees for registrants from outside Purdue). If you are interested in the workshop, please contact me for information and registration. The workshop is limited to SIX participants. The deadline for registration is August 3, 2016. Sincerely, Tim Kwok Facility Manager 3D Cell Culture Core (3D3C) Facility Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University ________________________________ [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/b7d6d1ffee56a866e499104cf/images/ceb79315-f48…]
