That was my first job after university. The company I worked at manufactured 2 different products in bulk, and there were tests on products of the
various stages of production, as well as on the final product. It is a good job. Not too difficult, and gives you a lot of experience with a variety
of equipment and tests.
There is lots of preparing volumetric solutions for GC and LC tests for impurities. Analysing the results to make sure that impuries are less than
specifications. IR spectra, titrations, UV spectra, Karl Fischer tests, refractive index, colorimetric test, particle size, bulk density, sulfated
ash. I can't remember, but there are probably others.
You will be trained on the equipment, so you only have to have a decent understanding and familiarity with the basics. Probably you will put the LC
and GC runs on every morning, do the other tests and fill out the forms during the day, and integrate and record your chromatography runs in the
afternoon, or put more on to run overnight.
It's good experience to have if you're interested in analytical development, which is what I moved in to. |
