Dear Colleagues,
Would you be kind enough to post this notice for an immediate opening for a
post-doctoral researcher in the area of MEMS and Sensors.
Many thanks for your assistance:
Positions Available - Postdoctoral Researcher
Georgia Tech, MEMS Laboratory
Overview
Prof. Peter Hesketh?s MEMS laboratory is inviting applications for postdoctoral
research position beginning in Fall 2008 in the area of microfabrication and
sensors.

Subject: [labnetwork] Pore size for scrubber
Message-ID: <489BA99F.7030900@princeton.edu>
Hello everyone
I have a question regarding the scrubber filter in our PECVD-system:
specifically, we are trying to find out what grade of filter we should
purchase for our re-circulating scrubber. Our current system set-up is
as follows: the gases in the processing chambers are pumped out and
passed through a cracking oven and exhausted into a re-circulating
scrubber. We're currently using a filter with 150 micron diameter pores
in the scrubber, mainly to filter out SiO2 particles that end up in the
water. However, it seems as if the filter is not really doing it's job
and most of the residual particles end up in the water and are not
caught by the filter. For this reason we were considering replacing the
current filter with a filter that has smaller pores. The supplier can
make filters with pores all the way down to 1 micron in
diameter......however, we're concerned that using a filter with such a
fine grading would put too much strain on the pump in the scrubber. Do
any of you have an opinion/recommendation on how fine the pores of a
scrubber filter should be? I'd welcome any advice you could give
me....thanks in advance!
sincerely

Subject: [labnetwork] Cameca 7F SIMS mass spectrometer wanted
Message-ID: <1218201953.24397.13.camel@samsung-x65>
Hello, list members.
I am a used equipment reseller.
My client just asked me for a Cameca 7F SIMS mass spectrometer.
Knowing this is typically an object found in R and D labs, I was
wondering if any list members might be able to sell me one.
Thanks a lot for your kind replies.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Colleagues:
Last month we had a very interesting and successful UGIM;
those of you who were there can testify. We had great
discussions on all aspects of university labs management,
