Cleanroom and Lab Access Courses

This training is setup to prepare you with safety information and emergency procedures in order to access Coorstek 040, 040B, and the 040 cleanroom as well as the Hill Hall cleanroom.

Prior to your first visit, please download MSDS for any NEW chemicals you will be bringing into CK040 or HH312 and bring it with you.

We have created instructional videos for many of the instruments in CK040 and HH310/312. Please watch the videos/read the manuals before being trained in person for the machine.
