They are responsible for developing new products or methods of compound identification, ensuring compliance with safety protocols, and maintaining laboratory equipment. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and knowledge of chemical compositions and reactions are crucial for this role. Moreover, proficiency in specific laboratory software and familiarity with laboratory safety procedures and protocols are necessary.
