[labnetwork] Providing User Lab Supplies and Storage Space

[Morrison, Richard H., Jr.]

HI,

At Draper we provide all cleanroom consumables for all users, this includes wafers, chemicals, gases, boxes, tweezers, paper,  glassware, timers, pens and garments. We do this so that we can control what goes into the cleanroom. With that said chemicals, wafers and gases we stock standard material only, for general use. If a project needs to use non-standard material then they purchase it and label it for their project only. I do have one comment on consumables we do all the tweezers and pens go? We buy these constantly any ideas?

With regards to storage large projects have storage cabinets, with smaller projects using totes on a rack. After 1 year material is vacuum sealed and sent to storage.

Hope this helps.

Happy New Year everyone.

I was curious to hear your opinions on supplying cleanroom users materials, such as tweezers, containers, glassware, timers, notebooks, etc., verses having them provide these items themselves.  I have seen several variations on this in my travels.  I am curious what you might implement at your own facility.

Additionally and related, what kind of storage do you provide your users (boxes, racks, containers)? I know this is can become a logistical issue quickly as users store and forget items over time, leading to the consumption of valuable cleanroom space. What kind of restrictions do you place on storage? As always, thank you for any insight you might be able to provide.

Best regards,

Jacob
