Your Typical Day You start by checking instrument status and the day's priorities, then move between the bench and the data system as samples come in. You'll spend focused time interpreting chromatograms, confirming calculations, and documenting work to ALCOA+ expectations. When unexpected results appear, you shift into investigation mode-pulling history, comparing trends, and aligning next steps with QA and the client. Between runs, you answer technical questions from analysts, give quick coaching, and keep projects on schedule. Late day often includes drafting or tightening SOPs, reviewing method documents, and preparing for upcoming stability pulls or audit requests.
