Thursday, November 12th at noon in Birck 1001 Contamination Control Please always be mindful of contamination control when entering the gowning room and the cleanroom. Here are a couple of reminders about particulate control . . . (1) Please do not take any kind of cardboard, or corrugated paper products or containers, into the gowning room. The gowning room is also a part of the cleanroom and cleanliness actually starts outside the gowning room in the pre-gowning area. No cardboard, paper, or any kind of particulate-generating materials of any kind are allowed in the gowning room. (2) Also please do not enter the gowning room through the first air-shower and then remove an outer garment, such as a sweater or sweatshirt, in the gowning room. This defeats the purpose of the first air shower in that your outer garment that you removed has been cleaned by the air shower, but your secondary garment has not. By removing the outer garment in the gowning room you have violated the protocol to have all street clothes exposed to the pre-gowning air shower. Thanks for your attention to this. This will help keep our pristine facility ultra-clean for supporting world-class research.
