Cleanroom incident last night
by Jurss, Stephen E 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

All, Apparently a student was using a thiol based chemical which has an extremely low odor threshold. Trace amount of the agent were on wipes which were disposed of in a general waste container. Even this small quantity elicited an extremely strong odor throughout the cleanroom resulting in the evacuation of the cleanroom. In the future please read the MSDS over carefully before using any new material and if material lists an odor please see me for detailed handling procedures before use of the material.

BNC Shutdown May 5-7
by Weaver, John R 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

All BNC Users: The semiannual shutdown of the BNC will take place Tuesday through Thursday, May 5-7, 2009. The CLEANROOM will be closed at midnight Tuesday morning. If all goes well, it will reopen at 5:00 PM Wednesday afternoon. If issues arise, it may be closed for some or all of Thursday, May 7. Please remove all material from fume hoods prior to the cleanroom closing. The LABORATORIES will be closed at midnight Thursday morning. If all goes well, it will reopen at 5:00 PM Thursday. Again, if issues arise the closure may be extended. Please remove all material from fume hoods prior to the laboratories closing. Additionally, the building will be COLD on Wednesday, May 6. Even if it is warm outside, the building will be cold. Please dress appropriately. This is due to a steam shutdown by Purdue University Physical Facilities. The startup times for the cleanroom and laboratories apply to the facility, not necessarily the equipment. Please check Coral for equipment downtime and startup times. Thank you for your cooperation during this important preventive maintenance shutdown. John John R. Weaver Facility Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University (765) 494-5494 jrweaver(a)purdue.edu
