Over the weekend, a minor explosion occurred in an oven at a company that shares an office and laboratory corridor with Nanologica. The sprinkler system was activated automatically, and water was spread throughout the premises. No one has been injured and Nanologica's equipment is unharmed.
The initial assessment shows that none of Nanologica's instruments or other equipment has been damaged, as water has only spread to Nanologica's premises along the floor. The incident is under control and an investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause.
Nanologica's large-scale production of silica is unaffected by the incident and measures are being taken to ensure that other work can continue with minimal impact.
