<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We sell the user materials to the users – they charge them to their account. We have found that they take better care of them when they have to buy them. We require that they buy them through us and we give them
pass-through (no markup) pricing. Because we buy in quantity, they get the materials for less than if they bought them on their own. By requiring that they buy from us, we know that only proper cleanroom-compatible materials are being used. We have had great
faculty acceptance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As for storage, each user gets a tote that is stored on wire racks along the main aisle of the cleanroom. Larger groups get a double-size tote as a “group tote” in addition to the individual totes for the users.
If totes are left out (not put back on rack), the user has two choices: Perform lab cleanup operations for four weeks; or suffer a one-week suspension from the lab. Since we instituted this program, totes are put away properly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
