How-to video: Photoresist pipettors

For the last 6 months or so, the repeat pipettors have been getting broken with alarming frequency. While wear and tear over time is expected, the current rate of replacement is likely due to improper use. To address this, we have put together a short, 1 minute video on proper usage.
 

Holiday Hours Dec. 24 - Jan. 1

Several MIT.nano staff have volunteered to come in to keep the fab open and restocked during MIT's winter break.

The fab will be open to all users Tuesday, Dec. 26 — Friday, Dec. 29 from 9 AM – 5 PM. 

Looking ahead: Phase 4 tool installations

MIT.nano's phase 4 tool install is starting and will run through spring into early summer!

We will communicate schedules as they become clear, but we expect no impact on the existing usage/operations of the lab. Be prepared to see new tools populate the space and construction activity inside the cleanroom chases. Almost all work will take place in the first floor cleanroom.
