-[[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQZ5JnKzOf-UZA0yWZ1XwLGQjmtgyEOFxxHWpZWUUIa8OxcA/viewform|Job Submission Google Form]]+After many frustrating hours, the **Haas Oil Retrofit is almost complete.** Today, we'll put the way covers back on, then wait 24 hours for the sealant to set. Tomorrow we can re-tram the vice and we're back in business!
  
 +The Wazer waterjet has a new, quieter pump. Please report any issues to Brian Dincau.

 +**The Innovation Workshop and Microfluidics Lab have been merged into one FBS facility.** Please ensure that you are working inside the new facility, appropriately named "Innovation Workshop & Microfluidics Lab". Let us know if you have any questions or notice anything missing.

 +The **waterjet is back**. After disconnecting, draining, then reconnecting the pump, the pressure came back up and stabilized. If you use the waterjet in the next few weeks, please pay attention to the flow rate. If it drops dramatically, accompanied by a water-hammer sound, please pause the cut and contact the lab manager.

 +02/23/24 \\

 +The **waterjet is currently down.** The pump pressure is low and the pump is vibrating in an unhealthy way. We are working to restore the tool asap.

 +10/06/23 \\ 
 + 
 +We now have a [[https://forms.gle/YvvXqV18izy4TumY6 | Microfluidics Lab & Innovation Workshop Feedback Form!]] 
 +Please use this form to let us know how we are doing, as well as provide suggestions for potential new tools or procedures. 
 + 
 +09/18/23 \\ 
 + 
 +**We have redesigned our silanization chamber.** The new chamber features polymer valves and fittings which should not corrode like the stainless steel fittings used in the previous chamber. The silane agent is also stored in a sealed glass container now, so we can easily see when it is running low. Please take a moment to [[vapor_silanation_rig_sop_new | review the new SOP]] before using the tool. Report any issue to the lab manager, and note them in the log book.

 +**Starting April 1st, a reservation will be required for any and all lab use.** Recharge will no longer be tied to door swipes, thus your compliance will be essential for accurate usage tracking and billing. If you are unfamiliar with making reservations in FBS, please see our [[fbs_reservation_information | tutorial]] and contact bdincau@ucsb with any questions or concerns.
