<p class="MsoNormal">Happy New Year everyone.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
