Separation processes represent a burgeoning field with immediate applications. Out of these processes, chromatography techniques are some of the most powerful tools available for the isolation, purification and characterisation of new substances or active ingredients and the analysis of organic and biochemical mixtures. Industrial and scientific applications of these techniques include gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography, as well as, more recently, the systems associated with mass spectometers, proteomic tools and multidimensional chromatography. Chromatography technique specialists are responsible for developing chromatography-related R&D, process control and method validation analytical systems and methodologies, with their responsibilities including supervising and training the laboratory analysts, analysing chromatography data and drafting reports and standardised operating procedures. They usually work within a good laboratory practices environment, as part of an analysis department or a public or private research centre.
Tasks
Select and use advanced chromatography machines and techniques to analyse molecules.
Provide support and training to colleagues on the use of the machines and computer software.
Contribute to tuning new techniques and helping staff to adapt to the machines, and propose efficiency and safety-related improvements.
Search for literature related to the research being carried out, keeping abreast of scientific developments and ensuring that these are applied to all of the company or technical service's products, processes and analytical methodologies.
Develop analytical methods that determine products' characteristics and stability.
Participate in necessary tasks to validate new analytical methodologies used.
Take responsibility for coordination the preparation, treatment and derivatisation of samples.
Supervise the performance and interpretation of the analysis of samples from the R&D and manufacturing departments, including monitoring synthetic processes and degradation products.
Ensure that all work carried out cumplies with the good laboratory practices and, where necessary, with those for manufacturing and clinical trials.
Contribute to the identification and characterisation of unknown impurities in the samples analysed.
Identify ways of resolving separation or purification issues.
Undertake the identification of unknown compounds by comparing them with the spectroteca associated with the coupled machines.
Perform corrective and preventive maintenance on the machines, installing and upgrading them.
Maintain experiment records and draft technical publications, validation and analysis method reports in a format that is intelligible for other departments.
Participate in the establishment, synthesis and characterisation of reference samples.
Create standardised operating procedures and other records for the maintenance and use of the analysis instruments.
Fulfil tasks related to the organisation and monitoring of the team, and assess the needs and costs of consumable products and materials, managing stocks thereof.
The training required to perform this occupation largely depends on the size of the company, the number of works dedicated to the role, whether the institution is public or private, and the production needs in terms of quality and R&D. This means that specialists may include experienced staff with a professional training background, degree holders with sufficient training and even doctors who have previous experience of using this sort of techniques in analytical development studies.

Complementary training
Specific training in chromatography techniques or completing an experimental Master's in analytical development, or any other course of which these techniques form a routine part, is an asset. Advanced knowledge of the development of treatment methods and sample preparation, solid-phase separation, purification and chromatographic scale-up technologies, from analytical determination to preparation techniques.
Other specific skills
Command of English, with the ability to write and understand technical information. Experience with chromatography troubleshooting and performing preventive maintenance on equipment.
Professionals wishing to perform this occupation require some experience, depending on how much trainin they have. In theory, they require at least one to three years' experience using chromatography equipment and analytical tools within a chemical company's technical service or analytical research department, or at a public research centre. In this context, experience with different chromatography technologies, using different detectors, the application of mass spectrometry and coupling, developing methods and drafting technical publications is all desirable.
The organisation, administration and control of a company or entity are the main interests of people related to the management field. Activities included in this field of interest vary from effective resource management, feasibility analyses and solving business problems to the development of skills and fostering of motivation in relation to human resources. Knowledge regarding specific techniques of strategic administration and business management are required to carry out these activities.
Scientific research
Individuals who have an affinity for the field of scientific research focus their interest on activities that study different types of organisms and substances in order to obtain valuable products for human beings. A key part of performing this task is the planning and verification of scientific hypotheses through the use of different research designs and techniques. The objective of these searches is the development of new medicines and medical techniques, technological innovation based on the manipulation of cells, molecules and biological agents, as well as the study of cultures in order to improve the characteristics and properties of plants and food.
This professional usually works full-time from Monday to Friday, with intensive hours or split-shifts. Depending on the sample preparation and result analysis protocols, they may have to work outside their normal hours and even on weekends and public holidays, particularly if problems arise during the chromatography process.
Salary
The average salary for this job depends on the type of company and the professional's previous experience. The salary usually ranges from 22.237 to 26.438 euros per annum gross. Median: 24.247 euros annum gross.

The main aim of the life and health sciences is to promote the health of living beings. As part of this mission, the industry brings together different fields ranging from healthcare to the pharmaceutical industry. Technology and innovation play an important role in facilitating progress towards a better quality of life. Healthcare is responsible for the medical and clinical care received by people to overcome illnesses or to guarantee their autonomy and quality of life. Animal health is also included under this bracket. Pharmaceutical production, prolific in Catalonia, occupies a central position in this industry, spanning the research, development and distribution phases. Biomedical research also plays an important role in life and health sciences, encompassing technical and research activities that expand and improve medical knowledge and practice. Finally, the industry also provides auxiliary and support services related to health, including diagnosis support services and the incorporation of new medical technologies.
