Hi research fellows,

All of us would love to work in a clean and tidy lab. Being a good user and keeping others in mind makes this happen. 

Here is what BNC wiki page tells us. 

If the bottles in the hood are empty, refill them from a supply bottle. It is in the cabinet below the hood. (if not it can be taken from the storage cabinet)

Label the chemicals, samples, or glassware that left unattended, with "researcher name_Major constituents of material_Date of Disposal/ return"

Clean the workspace (fume hood, lab bench or equipment) after use, with

• any chemicals on the hood surface wiped up or rinsed, 
• used cleanroom wipes removed
• all aluminum foil removed
• any glassware containing chemicals labeled and pushed to the back of the hood
• any empty glassware removed
• and chemical supply bottles returned to the proper storage cabinet (“Corrosives” for concentrated acids/bases or “Flammable” for solvents/developers).

Together, we make the clean room clean and nano bigger. 

A kind reminder about the upcoming cleanroom shutdown: chemical processing should be completed by 6:00 am on Monday, May 3.  And remove all glassware from the hoods. No Fab Forum-office hour today. All the best wishes for the finals

Your friend, 

NSAC

NSAC is a student organization built to help enhance the communication within the nanotechnology community at Purdue. We have hosted a bunch of academic and social events in the past years, such as the Coffee Hour, the Fab Forum, interactive workshops, and corn maze. This year, owing to special COVID-19 restrictions, NSAC will strive to achieve the same goals through active virtual efforts. Let’s make nano ‘bigger’ and stronger together.
