Duties and achievements:• Development of HPLC methods for the analysis of Steroids, Prostaglandins and Tetrahydrocannabinols. These were then successfully and effectively used by Development Chemists and QC analyst to assess completion of chemical reactions in the labs and plant.• GC method development for quantification of residual solvents. These were then effectively used by QC chemists as part of on-going monitoring plant process,• Patent obtained on developed Preparatory HPLC method. This method was then exported and successfully scaled up in overseas manufacturing,• Full and partial validation of the developed analytical methods, • Analysis of submitted materials by chemists using LC/MS, IR , UV , TLC , DSC as well as HPLC and GC analysis techniques. • Solid Phase Extraction method developed which was then used by manufacturing to obtain pure material for analysis. • Trouble shooting, maintenance and repair of HPLC, GC and MS systems in the development department,• Characterisation of reference standard in co-operation with the development chemists. This was crucial in determination of purity of synthesised material, • Responsible for scheduling annual service and validation of the analytical equipment by external contractors.
