Access to the Quattrone Nanofabrication Facility

Access will be provided once all steps are successfully completed. Once access is provided, you will be able to enter the cleanroom and request equipment training.

1. Submit the Project Form, providing information on the nature of your project. Please provide enough detail so we can properly understand your needs.
2. Book a time to attend the QNF Open Forum, where you can discuss your project needs with QNF Staff. The Open Forum is held every Wednesday, 3pm – 5pm, and can be attended in person in Singh 035, or via Zoom.
   • If you are not able to make the scheduled QNF Open Forum times or cannot access the scheduler, contact Eric Johnston (ericdj@seas.upenn.edu) via email to make other arrangements.
   • If you'll be working on an already approved QNF process for your group, you can continue with steps 3 & 4 before joining the Open Forum at your earliest convenience.
3. Complete the Access Request Form, once your project has been approved.
   • A form will be sent by our user admin via DocuSign for signature.
   • For external users:
     • To get your Penncard, go to the Penncard office at 36th and Walnut, 2nd floor. Make sure you have a valid photo ID. ALSO, BE SURE TO GET THE INFORMATION FOR SETTING UP YOUR PENNKEY. You can coordinate with Kim Marker at admin@ if you have any questions about this process.
     • You may need to complete an external user agreement if one does not already exist for your organization.
4. Complete the QNF Orientation Video Training and Quiz just prior to beginning work in the cleanroom (within two weeks.) Confirmation of your test score will be emailed to you. This may be done concurrently with Step 3.
5. Attend the QNF Walkthrough. Sign up through our Orientation Walkthrough registration form. The walkthrough will begin at the QNF gowning room, which will be all the way to the right (east side) after you enter the building.
