Description
Plan and perform qualitative and quantitative analyses of materials using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques to support research, product development, and quality control; develop, validate, and document analytical methods while maintaining instrument performance, data integrity, and regulatory compliance.
- • Analyze samples using chromatography and spectroscopy (e.g., GC/LC, MS, ICP, UV-Vis, FTIR) to determine identity, purity, and concentration.
- • Develop and validate analytical methods per ICH/USP/ISO guidelines.
- • Perform sample preparation, extractions, digestions, and derivatization.
- • Prepare standards and reagents; generate and verify calibration curves.
- • Maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot analytical instruments.
- • Interpret results, perform statistical analyses, and ensure data integrity.
- • Document work and author SOPs, methods, validation protocols, and technical reports.
- • Perform quality control testing, system suitability, and stability or release analyses.
- • Collaborate with scientists and engineers to design experiments and resolve OOS/OOT investigations.
- • Follow GLP/GMP and safety procedures; support audits and CAPA activities.
- • Train and advise personnel on analytical procedures and instrument use.
- • Manage LIMS entries, chain-of-custody, and inventory of solvents, columns, and reference standards.
