We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Clean Room",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Technology in education of reintegrated scientist from
Jeol USA, which we summarised at the time by saying "Boston College has selected the new Jeol MultiBeam focused ion beam system and a field emission scanning electron microscope for its nanofabrication clean room facility in Newton,
Massachusetts".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Storage of clinical samples made more affordable from
Micronic: "Used in conjunction with Micronic tube caps or bands, Tubestrip 8 provides simple and high integrity storage of clinical or biological samples even at -180C".
In January 2008, we covered the news from PI (Physik Instrumente)
concerning its P-601
- take a look at Photonics and biotech benefit from piezo actuators
which says: "PI's flexure-based piezo actuators like the P-601 provide up to ten times the travel ranges of classical piezo stack actuators in a low profile package with virtually unlimited resolution and lifetime".
Take a look also at the news release from Micronic, Enhanced sample security with tube locking system,
as well as Storage plates increase long term sample integrity from Thermo Scientific (ABgene),
and Fully automated materials and components testing from Zwick Roell.
