Chemicals in the Lab
The following chemicals are approved for use in the MEMS Fab. Consult with lab staff before using or storing any other chemicals in the lab.
Chemical Container Disposal
Acids and Bases TRIPLE rinse containers with water, cap and dispose.
Solvents After the container is completely empty the UNCAPPED bottle can be thrown in the trash.
Viscous Chemicals Chemicals that are too viscous (e.g. resists) to empty completely should be capped and put in a grey drum for EH&S pickup.
Chemical storage
Acids
and Bases UNOPENED containers
are stored in the corrosives cabinet
Opened
containers are stored on the chemical cart by the Acid/Base wet benches.
Solvents All solvent containers
are stored in the flammable cabinet.
