After about six months an opening came up in the Research and Development department, I applied and got the job.
In my little over two years with LaMotte I developed a wide range of skills from writing and understanding SOP’s to maintaining documentation on testing and products in development. I also learned to Analyze reagent data over time for evidence on how these reagents would perform in production as well as test the validity of new reagent formulas by carefully monitoring their stability over extended periods.

These people will essentially assure the success/quality of the products as well as have an immense impact on the reduction of costs and the company’s profits.
