cleaning cleanroom and particle count

  • 5:10 pm: ran zero count test on particle counter
  • 5:14 pm: started particle count

    NOTE: initial counts are significantly above allowed limit. ~10 times larger than ISO class 5 standard in the smallest size range. Realized partway through ceiling tile changes that the power/lights for some of the hepa fans in the ceiling frame had been turned off. May explain this high number. Have since turned fans back back on.
