Spectroscopist vs chemical laboratory technician

Differences between spectroscopist and chemical laboratory technician duties and responsibilities

Spectroscopist example responsibilities.

• Manage the QC program for custom synthesize DNA (oligomer) using laser base mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF).
• Manage QC of molecular beacons by fluorescence spectroscopy.
• Perform routine NMR maintenance, including liquid nitrogen and liquid helium fills.
• Decrease sample evaluation times from days to hours by performing in-house IR analysis on submit samples.
• Perform large-scale purification using FPLC, HPLC, immuno-affinity chromatography.
• Establish the pharmaceutical testing laboratory and transition the laboratory to being fully functional in GMP compliance.
