One for gas lines if needed and the other for vacuum jacketed cryo lines. For gas lines, if needed the company is Applied Energy Systems. The President is Steve Buerkel (Steve Buerkel sbuerkel at appliedenergysystems.com) . His team is very good and does exceptional work. If you would like to see what they did for us, you are more than welcome to stop by since we are in Washington DC. http://www.appliedenergysystems.com/ For cryo lines we always use Cryo Associates. They are local and have installed our entire LN system including vacuum jacketed LN lines in the clean. They have always done nice work at a reasonable price. The President is Jeff Karpinski.

The government competition, evaluation and award process can be very time consuming and has huge implications for our NanoFab. As we all know, it can be difficult to find people who know the best practices for our special needs. A common failure mode for us is lack of qualified bidders. Many companies do not monitor FedBizOps (www.fbo.gov) on a regular basis. We are in the market research phase and I am seeking out qualified general contractors that I can contact to discuss this upcoming opportunity and put on the notification list. If you have any recommendations of companies that you have been pleased with would be interested in some work at the CNST NanoFab at the NIST, Gaithersburg, MD campus, please send me their name or pass my contact information on to them. Labnetwork has been a very valuable forum for me. Thanks folks. Vince Luciani Vincent K.

We've gotten elements for some pretty obscure hardware from them so something like a Mini Brute ought to be no problem depending on diameter, temperature range, etc. Good luck, John Sent from my iPhone On Nov 29, 2011, at 3:50 PM, "Richard Savage" wrote: > Does anyone know a supplier for heating elements used in Thermco Mini Brute > furnaces? > Rich > > > Richard N.
