Chemical Lab Analyst

• Apr 2019 - Jan 2020

Worked as an analytical chemist who focuses on testing using gas chromatography and wet chemistry. I am responsible for cannabis terpene profiling using GC-FID, sample analysis using FT-IR, UV-Vis, and other wet chemistry methods. I also developed new testing methods and SOPs, and performed preventative maintenance of the laboratory. Followed strict laboratory safety rules, kept the workstation clean and organized and kept documentation of each sample testing in a lab notebook.
