Sam Ruffner Email & Phone Number

I am an analytical chemist, working in the pharmaceutical industry for the past 13 years. I received my BS in Chemistry in 2003 from Tulane and my MS from Emory in 2007, specializing in photophysical chemistry. My graduate work focused on metal doping polymers in conjunction with NASA Langley, as well as singlet oxygen quenching research via laser induced fluorescence. Since then I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry as an analytical chemist, both as a contract analytical scientist and for a pharmaceutical manufacturer. I have developed, written, and validated many analytical methods during my career, and am considered an expert in particle size analysis, drug abuse deterrence, and method development. I have extensive knowledge of HPLC, GC, and Laser Diffraction instrumentation. The laboratories I have worked in have been routinely been audited by the FDA and vendor companies, and have a reputation of maintaining a high level of GMP compliance and quality.
