DUV is down - Update
Parts were scheduled to arrive last Thursday but were delayed due to the weather that day. Tracking status never updated from pending after that point so I had to wait 7 days before filing a claim with FEDEX. Hopefully the claim and associated dollar value will get them to start looking for the package, and we are also exploring other options.
I'll hopefully send out another update late next week with some idea of when we will have parts. //Vraj Mehalana 15:27, 2 January 2024 (PST)

Lab Access Changes: Symmetry App
Card/Iris scanner access is still currently enabled. However we will be moving to a smartphone-based access system. IMPORTANT: check your email to setup the new smartphone access system, so you will be ready when we switch to the new system. Look for an email titled "Invitation to Access Symmetry App".
