<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Dave,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At MIT.nano, we looked into this about a year and a half ago. We knew UPenn and Harvard had some of these “Hotplate Towers” based on previous visits there. UPenn had some useful feedback for us: cord management is an important feature,
as well as leveling capabilities. We decided to build a unit with fixed shelves (instead of sliding shelves like other have) to help with both of these issues… we also increased space between fixed shelves to compensate for working space as well as added
lights (with filters for photolithography).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both Air Control and Reynolds Tech had excellent design solutions. We ended up buying some nice units from Air Control and we are very happy with the Towers (photo attached). Happy to answer any additional questions you may have, feel
free to reach out.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We currently have a number of stand-alone hotplates simply placed on a work table in our litho bay. While easily accessible, it is not exactly the most efficient use of space. We would like to consolidate these into some sort of rack or
shelving to free up room in the bay. I’ve seen nice examples of pull-out drawer units in some other labs (MIT and possibly Harvard come to mind?) that we were thinking of replicating.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone on labnetwork have suggestions on where to buy/build a similar unit? Any other tips or ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
