Effective June 1, 2026, we will significantly reduce the general hourly rate for cleanroom use ($36/hr -> $24/hr for internal users, and $132/hr -> $85/hr for industrial users), and introduce tool-specific rates for certain equipment in the cleanroom to cover the costs of consumables, maintenance, parts, and upkeep. Please note that many tools in the cleanroom will remain free-to-use, covered by the reduced general hourly rate.

 

For many users – particularly those performing workflows in fumehoods or using metrology/microscope tools – this change will result in a significantly lower cost. Users of specific equipment will now see costs more directly aligned with the tools they actually use. 

 

Please review the summary sheet (link below). Please note that the rates in the documents are not exhaustive. We will provide full details of the updated rate structure on the Nano3 website within the next few days.
