• New group as of January 1, 2014 helped to define duties and transition system responsibilities from laboratory personnel. Originally ten system owners of equipment was streamlined to two.
• System Ownership of over 100 laboratory instruments including HPLC’s, UPLC’s, Mass Specs, Centrifuges, CE’s, UV Vis, Biophysical equipment and pipettes for scientists in five different research groups.
• Duties included contacting, coordinating, and scheduling field engineers to perform instrument preventative maintenance and repairs, while limiting the impact on the scientists within the lab.
• Responsible for instrument paperwork, including preventative maintenance, new instrument information, out of tolerance evaluations for audit purposes. Also maintaining instrument information in databases, electronic.
• Able to research, order, and acquire hard to find chemicals, materials, and equipment.
• Reviewed annual vendor contracts for accurate instrument information also implemented a 90-day pre-approval of contracts to prevent delays in service.

• Studied both Native and Denatured thiol groups in several large molecules via Ellman’s assay. Testing involved both established methodology, and time study experiments.
• Evaluated a large molecule method via reverse phase HPLC for durability and reproducibility, as well as gave recommendations for improvement.
• Prep mobile phases for other scientists, to expedite testing.
• Logged in new chemicals and disposed of expired ones, physically and within chemical database.
• Performed size exclusion chromatography on a wide array of manufacturer HPLC columns for a sister site. The result was a column easier to obtain, better chromatography, and more cost effective.
• Improved operational efficiency by developing a system to prevent loss of preventative maintenance paperwork, and created a spreadsheet to track and replace individual pipettes when sent out for preventative maintenance.
