Description
Chemical Laboratory Technicians work on the design and synthesis of compounds (organic, inorganic and bioorganic). Use manual synthesis techniques and automatic synthesizers, chemical characterization, chromatographic (GC/MS, HPLC, HPLC/MS) and spectroscopic (NMR) techniques, advanced purification and optimization methods, solid phase microextraction (SPME), and electronic sensors, as well as other chemical synthesis processes derived from new scientific advances or the development of instrumental analysis.
Often, their work is aimed at carrying out physical, chemical and microbiological analysis and tests of samples from quality control, production, or registry studies, in addition to collaborating in the development and improvement of analytical methods to reduce response time or increase the quality of results.
This professional profile can be found both in the process of drug discovery developing research in the field of combinational chemistry and automatic screening techniques (HTS, High Throughput Screening) in order to obtain new materials (e.g. superconductors), developing phytosanitary products, pigments, polymers and catalysts; as well as in companies dedicated to the perfumery and cosmetics sector that focus their research activities on sensory analysis and their knowledge of raw materials and aromatic substances.
