–
At 14Si, we operate in a controlled, cleanroom environment designed to consistently achieve low levels of contamination down to parts per trillion (ppt). Our Class 10k cleanroom, equipped with customised Class 100 PP fume hoods, supports a wide range of trace contamination-related activities, including testing, analysis, mitigation process R&D, and scale-up. With a setup that includes an ultrapure water system, high-temperature oven, chemically resistant precision pump, high-precision balance, Class 100 sample reconstitution chamber, and filter characterisation tools, we offer focused & tailored contamination-related R&D to our global customers.
Class 100 PP Hoods
UPW Tool
Elga Type 1 Ultrapure Water System (18.2 MΩ.cm w/ ppt level metals & advanced particle filtration)
Reconstitution Chamber
Class 100 custom, chemical resistant sample reconstitution chamber for trace-level ICP-MS, IC, and GC-MS-MS sample preparation.
Forced Convection Oven
High Temperature Forced Convection Oven provides a controlled heating chamber required for sample bottle cleaning, controlled soaking, extractable & leachable studies.
Miscellaneous
We have multiple lab standard tools including a High Precision Pump (KNF, Switzerland), High Precision Microbalance (0.01mg), Controlled Magnetic Stirring & Heating Tool, Sample Vortexer, Vacuum Pump, and Sonicator.
