[labnetwork] SMC--Needs a partner to decomtaminate gate and Angle valves. A 20~35 nanometer partical Counter is also needed! See details in the email

[Allain, Monica M.C.]

Dear Colleagues,

SMC is looking for a partner to assist in the decontamination of Gate & Angle Valves and a 20~35 nanometer particle counter (See information below).  If you provide this service in your facility or can help SMC identify a company to work with, please contact Garrett Flora:

SMC has a need for valve decontamination, and our facility is not set up for this process.  Maybe you
have some suggestions for partnering with a company to infrequently decontaminate warranty returns, repairs, etc....

This is basic sample of decontamination sheet that would be signed off by cleaning company declaring a valve is safe for repairs.
Normally each company develops its own unique document,  procedure, template.

Testing fixture to place our valves within a chamber and test for particles generated.
Laser particle counter with range that can detect in the 20~35 nanometer's

Thank you for your time and consideration of SMC's needs.
