BOSTON, Mass.-Contamination control design issues for advanced research facilities, plus opportunities for cooperative nanotechnology development, will be the themes of two featured presentations at the CleanRooms Contamination Control Technology (CCT) Conference & Exhibition, Wednesday, March 23, at The World Trade Center in Boston.

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill.-In hopes of defining how separative devices differ from a cleanroom, ISO 14644-7, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments-Part 7: Separative devices (clean air hoods, gloveboxes, isolators, and minienvironments), specifies the minimum requirements for the design, construction, installation, testing, and approval of separative devices for use across a variety of industries.

FREMONT, Calif.-Mattson Technology (www.mattson.com), a supplier of semiconductor wafer processing equipment, will collaborate with Asyst Technologies (www.asyst.com), combining Asyst's Spartan Portal-an automated atmospheric equipment front-end module (EFEM)-with Mattson's advanced manufacturing equipment.

ALBANY, N.Y.- Sematech North has produced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask blanks with as few as one 80-nanometer (nm) or larger defect per mask. The 0.005 defect per square centimeter achievement was accomplished through rigorous contamination control and defect reduction

City of Boston and Boston University officials are determined to improve monitoring of research taking place at the university’s biosafety labs, in the wake of a contamination incident last spring that infected three researchers.

Because of the vulnerability and short shelf life of harvested human tissue, isolation is one of the key strategies for ensuring its sterility
