Bioanalytical Lab Staff

Our training program for technical professionals exceeds good laboratory practice guidelines. Following orientation and extensive hands-on instruction from our experienced chemists, new employees participate in an apprenticeship program to develop the skills and knowledge they need to meet our quality standards for bench chemists. Full-time specialists in LC/MS/MS ensure instrument operators are trained and knowledgeable in using the equipment.

To ensure our bioanalytical laboratories continue to provide the highest quality of services to sponsors, our staff members frequently update their skills through studying new analytical methods, regulatory guidelines and new technology for bioanalysis and participating in seminars and conferences.
