Examples of specific cases our chemists have work on:

* A winery had a hydraulic leak around its fermentation tanks. We developed a method for testing hydraulic fluid in wine and proceeded to test a number of wine batches to determine which ones were safe for consumers.
* In another project, we examined different the off-gassing from a medical device constructed with polymeric materials. This was accomplished using SPME.

In this role, you could be involved in evaluating the label claims of consumer products, reverse engineering pharmaceuticals/nutritional supplements, contaminant identification, determining sources of off odors/flavors/colors, extractables and leachables of consumer electronics, testing medical devices and much, much more.

If these types of cases excite you, enjoy a challenge, comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with a team centric approach to solving problems, we encourage you to apply.
