The BET system now back in operation! Due to the issues found during the repair, all samples must be prebaked at least over 100C overnight before degassing even . Any material that cannot be heated above 100C must be approved by the staff beforehand. Failure to do so will lead to the tool failure again. All sample tubes must be checked in/out. Its expected for users to take back their samples after analysis and return clean sample tubes. Contact Nam for further detail.
