<p class="MsoNormal">I am curious how many fabs allow PDMS mixing in their main cleanrooms and how many require that work done in separate isolated spaces or noncleanroom labs. My experience has been that they can be in the same space if careful glove protocols
are used to avoid spreading the unpolymerized precursors around the facility, but I am interested in other’s experiences. Thanks for the shared knowledge.<o:p></o:p></p>
