We are about to open a new NMR lab which is a short distance down the
hall from a machine shop. My concern is that small metal filings will
cling to the shoes of those walking past the machine shop and find their
way into the lab and inevitably the magnets. A colleague of mine
suggested that I buy some magnetic sheeting (used commonly for signs for
cars etc..) as a foot mat near the entrance to help pull the filings off
shoes. Have any of you used such things? I have heard that tacky mats
can be high maintenance so I would like to avoid them. Are their any
other suggestions for this concern?
