[BNC-all] Post-PM Status of the Birck Nanotechnology Center

[Reger, Ronald K]

Dear All,

The power outage for the Bindley construction tie-in was completed successfully yesterday, and today our 6-month building facilities preventative maintenance activities have been completed.  The cleanroom and labs are now open for research.  However, please note that due to the shortened holiday week and the Thursday power outage some of our processing equipment is not yet available for research.  Please check Coral for equipment availability.  

Also, the Ultra-Pure Water system is producing water between 5.0 M-ohm and 17.8 M-ohm due to elevated ionic content.  Normal UPW runs at 18.2 M-ohm.  We will notify all users when the UPW system has returned to normal purity.  Until then, please be aware of this higher ionic content and use UPW with the proper discretion.


Thanks,

Ron
