Work History

Quality Control analyst/ Quality assurance (production)/ Prototype Stability Testing

Edelweiss Laboratories
  • The Sampling of every incoming raw material and conducting qualitative tests like appearance, odor, COA (Certificate of Analysis) confirmation, and FTIR
  • Investigations are conducted using a chemistry background, in the instance, raw material fails to meet the requirement
  • Utilizing COA verification methods, drying of raw material in an oven, troubleshooting of machinery, or calibrating of FTIR
  • Efficiency test of new instruments by using the appropriate statistical methods to determine its competency in comparison to the old instrument
  • In production, there are three analytical parameters that constitute quality assurance and reproducibility
  • Specific gravity, pH, and viscosity are three main specifications for final products
  • Consistency in these three aspects of a product secures the client-manufacturer relationship
  • Specific Gravity or SG is mainly used to convert clients' packaging units of volume to an equivalent but a more viable unit of measure; mass in grams or Kilograms
  • Stability testing for new clients with new products, by monitoring the stability of these products over a predetermined period in a variety of environments
  • An in-depth knowledge-based foundation on GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) and ISO (International Organization of Standardization), I am quite as comfortable in the appropriate application and adherence of each category with complete distinction.

Dear Sir / Madam APPLICATION FOR A VACANCY AT YOUR COMPANY AS A QA AND QC/ LABORATORY CHEMICAL ANALYST I hereby wish to apply for a position as A Laboratory Analyst at your prestigious company full-time. I am a hardworking, ambitious and honest young man who seeks an opportunity to grow at your institute. As an Analytical Chemistry graduate of CPUT and I am hungry for a new challenges in the industry. I Graduated December 2018 in due time with a National Diploma in Analytical chemistry. I have undoubtedly accumulated a great deal of knowledge during my studies and I find myself really ecstatic about the prospect of building on what I have learned and simultaneously applying it. The opportunity to apply my academic training under the watchful eye of industry experts in the field is an incredible way to further develop my knowledge and application thereof whilst contributing to the company's goal. I have one year and a half of work experience as QC/QA (Quality Control/ Quality Assurance) and Laboratory analyst at an evolving company, then known as Edelweiss Pharmaceuticals and now better known as Edelweiss Laboratories. In the one year of in-service, I worked and studied there. I gathered a skill set that allowed me understanding the workings of a pharmaceutical company going through a transition. The company was transitioning from a standard pharmaceutical company to a primarily cosmetic company. The advantage of this transition means I was exposed to two industries making my knowledge and skillset a bit versatile. I am very much aware of my strong suits and I am very much confident your company will not regret hiring me. Due to my passion for Analytical chemistry, reading extensively and being goal-driven. I can confidently say I will be an asset at your company. As a university student, I have also graduated my capability to multi-task, prioritize work, and manage my time efficiently. I believe these skills are crucial in the working environment and may benefit me in the future to become a great scientist in the field. I have attached a CV along with the required documents and references. Should you want to arrange a meeting at a mutual convenient time, please do contact me.
