      Jan 2021 - Aug 2024
      Analytical Chemist

      During my time with Onyx Scientific, I have extensive experience working in a GMP environment performing reference standard retesting, final product testing and more predominately stability testing.I have developed competencies in:✔The use, maintenance and qualification of High Pressure Liquid Chromatography systems (HPLC). Performed normal, reverse phase chromatography and use of a refractive index (RI-HPLC) on HPLCs, monthly maintenance, annual qualifications and troubleshooting. Additionally I check GMP sequences and instruments before any runs are started as a 2nd check to remove any user errors from the initial user.✔The use, maintenance and calibration of Liquid Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).Performed reverse phase chromatography, monthly maintenance, troubleshooting and calibration of the mass spectrometer.✔The use and maintenance of High Resolution Gas Chromatography (HRGC) and Headspace Gas Chromatography (HSGC). Performed gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (FID) and Headspace (HS-GC) and gained familiarity with maintaining the use of GC columns and the instrument via troubleshooting.✔Primarily focussed on stability studies, organising and communicating to teammates to achieve goals on a weekly basis. I am adept at preforming chemical purity assays consistently and in a timely manner.✔Experience in performing temperature mapping for storage spaces such as a fridge for compounds and additionally I have performed temperature mapping for a laboratory.✔Gained competency with the use of pH meters and Coulometric Karl Fischer (CKF) and Volumetric titration (VKF) on an OMNIS System. Utilized acid-base titrations, Ion chromatography (IC), FT-IR, water activity meter as a user and administrator.✔Proficiency with Openlab software for troubleshooting with the use of reports and processing methods and administration, producing admin logs for data security, project folder set up and adding files to project folders.
