All labmembers must demonstrate good cleanroom practices; everyone must, or the value of the cleanroom is compromised. For prospective labmembers who have never worked in a cleanroom environment, these practices may seem arcane and unnecessary; however, the cleanroom procedures practiced at SNF are generally very similar to those used and validated in cleanrooms everywhere. Remember: just because you can't see a particle or a contaminant does not mean that it will not have an effect on your (or other labmembers') devices.

Procedures for gowning and general guidelines for lab behavior are summarized <here>. These procedures are designed to maximize safety and minimize contamination risks; always do your best to follow these.
