Collect samples in an ISO5 area attached to an ISO8 area for Pre and Post run ISO5 monitoring.
Collect WFI samples from water ports, heat exchangers, and clean steams in controlled and uncontrolled areas around the building as necessary.
Operate testing equipment such as active air units and total particulate counters in an appropriate manner.
Utilize MODA FDC program to acquire appropriate samples for testing, incubating and results entry.
Prepare supplies required for monitoring in a UAF/LAF hood.
Collect product samples at various stages of compounding in an aseptic manner using appropriate sample product containers.
Began gown certification process and gown plated in various department gowning rooms.
Complete continuous LMS training in a timely manner.
Move prepared monitoring supplies into areas using appropriate sanitizing agents (Decon-Spore, Decon-Cycle, Isopropyl Alcohol, etc...)
Don scrubs, smocks, hair net, shoe coverings, and sterile gloves appropriately in certain areas.
Perform area clearance in SVP 1 and 2 for Manufacturing department to ensure nothing is left from a previous run.
Communicate with Manufacturing and Compounding departments to ensure utmost efficiency throughout all stages of production runs.
Responsible for daily and weekly maintenance of all 8 GC/MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) agilents used for analyzing extracted drug samples.
Loaded and programed extracted drug runs onto corresponding agilents (depending on analyte type) strategically to ensure all runs were completed in a timely manner.
Followed proper chain of custody documenting procedures for all legal samples.
Monitored data coming off of agilents from active legal and clinical drug runs; checking for any issues with calibrators/controls, checking for overloaded samples and/or samples needing carryover checks, scheduling reinjections, etc..
Conducted initial reviews for completed legal and clinical drug runs throughout entire shift, which consisted of analyzing chromatography, conducting necessary calculations, checking for data abnormalities, and inputting results into the correct computer program.
Frequently troubleshot issues with agilents and determined what actions were needed to resolve the problem (clean/replace parts, correct corrupted files, change method settings, restart runs, etc..
Responsible for calibrating all pipettes in the Toxicology lab for certain volumes depending on use. Calibration was monitored utilizing the Artel calibration machine as well as using the Artel computer program to create calibration plans, methods, and schedules for each pipette. (Worked with Drummonds, Rainin, Eppendorf, and Fisherbrand pipettes)
Ensured all pipettes were sanitized, damages repaired, and parts replaced as necessary to maintain optimal performance.
Responsible for all reagent preparations including making up buffers, liquid calibrators/controls, establishing internal standards, and formulating solutions as needed by the laboratory technologists.
Ensured all frozen calibrators/controls needed for daily runs were sufficiently stocked and replenished as necessary by making up a new batch and aliquoting the correct amount and volume needed for each analyte using a JANUS machine.
Utilized and calibrated pH meters.
Utilized and calibrated weight scales.
Utilized basic chemistry math to determine how much drug to use during reagent preparations to achieve correct target concentration.
Recorded daily temperature checks for lab freezers and refrigerators to ensure proper working order.
Recorded daily hygrometer numbers to ensure proper humidity in the laboratory.
Assisted the tox laboratory technologists with research and development projects or other tasks as needed.
Filled 2 large initial analysis machines daily using multiple different reagents with a high level of accuracy to ensure proper placement. Made sure each reagent lot was up to date and switched over to a new lot and documented as needed.

Manually ordered different pain management or drugs of abuse tests for each clinical sample as requested by clients.
Accurately labeled all clinical and legal samples and requisition papers correctly without error.
Followed proper chain of custody documenting procedures for all legal samples.
Quickly aliquot each sample into labeled glass tubes and delivered to the lab technologist for initial analysis testing.
Reviewed initial analysis results for each sample and aliquot positive samples into plastic or glass tubes at different volumes depending on the positive analyte(s) detected.
Transported aliquots to different parts of the laboratory by certain times for further confirmation testing by the laboratory technologists.
Troubleshot problem samples and created online cases to communicate with other departments as needed.
Delivered STAT samples to the laboratory technologists as quickly as possible.
Completed required training to ensure current knowledge of all standard operating procedures.
