Analytical Chemist
Current• Ensured timely execution of QC tests and maintained detailed, accurate records in compliance with SOPs and quality standards.• Determine what analytical tests can be best utilized to verify purity, and stability of the chemical compound prioritizing customer delivery requirements and ensuring efficient use of company resources.• Performed Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) to determine purity of compounds. Visualized using acid-spray, UV, p-Anisaldehyde stain, and Phosphomolybdic Acid (PMA) Stain.• Interpreting various analytical results to determine validity of the compound, prior to shipping to customer. These analytical results include NMR spectra, Mass Spectrometry results, Ion Chromatography/Halide titration results, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography, Water content via KF, Elemental analysis results via CHN analyzer, TLC, FT-IR/UV, SOR, TGA, melting point and solubility.• Kept detailed records of all testing performed on compounds on a virtual record, easily accessible for anyone in the company to look at. • Participate in bi-weekly departmental meetings regarding productivity, safety concerns and areas for improvement.
