Dear MEMS Community,

1) What is the accepted convention for destinguishing a "wet lab" from a
"dry lab?"

2) Does anyone know of any good MEMS glossaries around that I might be
able to reprint in my nanotechnology dictionary?

3) At exactly what scale (MFS?) does MEMS become NEMS?

Question #1 was asked in my nanotechnology forum, in which all nanotech
related discussion (even spam at the moment, which should go in the
"products and invesments" folder) are welcome.

"I have talking with several MEMS start-ups; some are pursuing
electro-mechanical silicon devices (actuators), others are biologics
(DNA testers on a chip). They discuss their needs as dry labs and wet
labs. what is the accepted convention used to distinguish the two lab
types?  Is silicon fabrication for making actuators, etc. a dry lab only
application or is it a dry and wet lab mix? I gather that biologics
people use wet labs for their biological processes. is this correct?"
