  • Led Granule Absorption Study to test compatibility between solvents and granules to inform granule absorption • Led Emulsion of Solvents Study to test solvents in aqueous environments to inform solvent emulsion performance • Led Dissolution of Granules Study to test solvent-coated granules in aqueous solutions to inform granule dissolution • Prepare chemical formulations based on recipe tables through weighing, stirring, and heating mixtures for use in mosquito control purposes • Document all prepared formulations neatly in lab notebook • Prepare samples for HPLC analysis using analytical balances and diluting to volume with organic solvents • Process HPLC results through empower software, checking peaks & integration, and create processing methods • Create tablets for mosquito control by preparing dry formulations, forming granules, and sieving granules in sieve to get desired granule size. perform accelerated dissolution studies on these tablets to check their degradation • Prepare HPLC columns for analysis by flushing columns in reverse with solvents and preparing correct solvent amount • Perform physical chemistry analyses on formulations such as Flash Point analysis, Viscosity, Freeze-Thaw, accelerated storage stability, coupon corrosion, pH, density, mineral oil miscibility, and evaporation profiles •Analyze Teflon-coated slides made from spraying formulations using Drop Vision software for drop density •Introduce mosquitos into buckets for studies to see the rate at which products such as granules containing actives will kill mosquitos in aqueous environments. These introductions were performed solo during times and completely lead by myself.
