Wide range of benchtop and instrument work. The techniques employed in testing varied due to the wide variety of products and raw materials to be tested. Most assays involved extractions and analysis. The analytical techniques included HPLC testing for drugs, titrations, separations, purifications, crystallizations, melting point determinations, pH, volumetric, kjeldahls, viscosity, photometry, IR for identifications, UV/Vis for identification and quantification, Atomic Absorption for testing a minerals, etc.Research work on testing methods for chlorohexidine gluconate and Fructooligosaccharides.
