      I technically belonged to the microbial assays lab, which handled testing like antimicrobial effectiveness, viability counts of biological indicators and limited sterility testing, among others. I was also heavily cross-trained in nearly all departments. The most complete of which was LAL endotoxin testing, as I was being trained to head up all of the LAL custom studies.
