Headway spinner

[Mary Tang]

Hi Dan --

As James indicates, a SpecMat request is required for new materials such 
as this.  That said, we do not allow nanoparticles in solution at the 
headway station because of the possibility of cross-contamination 
(solutions will aerosolize.)  We do have a rather crude, but functional 
spin coater outside the lab where this kind of processing can be done, 
if this works for you.  Let us know your specific requirements.
