Set-upand execute reactions for synthesis of molecules/ compounds:
Understand the project requirements and deliverables from supervisor/ manager, as specified by the client
Comprehend the reaction protocol and search literature as required
Understand and discuss the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) with supervisor/ team members
Identify and mitigate any potential safety risk with the help of supervisor
Plan and execute reactions independently with proper reagents and equipment (glassware, stirrers, vacuum pumps etc.) maintaining specified conditions (temperature, pressure etc.), with optimum usage and minimum wastage
Ensure parallel execution of multiple reactions
Monitor progress of the reactions by using standard methods and analytical techniques
Identify and execute appropriate workup and purification technique to produce an intermediate/ final compound of desired quality
Analyze and interpret analytical data results and report to supervisor/manager
Troubleshoot as appropriate for successful execution with intimation to supervisor
Meet productivity benchmarks on number of reactions/ number of steps/ number of compounds/ quantity/ compound purity/ project timelines
Ensure safety at work through enforcement of good laboratory practices:
Follow safety protocols and guidelines in the labs
Maintenance and usage of equipment/apparatus/instruments as per SOPs
Maintain records, data integrity and IP confidentiality:
Document reactions, research findings/ observations accurately in lab note books as per client requirements/ LNB SOP to ensure data integrity
Maintain strict IP Confidentiality and adhere to all related policies
Compile required experimental data to prepare final reports
Ensure skill development of self:
Improve knowledge of organic chemistry (particularly synthesis)/ Analytical techniques etc.
through one on one discussions with supervisor/ regular classroom trainings/ project trainings/ further educational programs etc.
