chromatographer
Chromatographers apply the corresponding chromatography techniques (such as gas, liquid or ion exchange techniques) to identify and analyse samples' chemical compounds. They calibrate and maintain the chromatography machinery and prepare the equipment and solutions. Chromatographers may also develop and apply new chromatography methods according to samples and chemical compounds that need to be analysed.
Also called: thin layer chromatographer, gas chromatographer, chromatography machine operative, ion-exchange chromatographer, liquid chromatographer, mass spectrometry specialist, LC-MS specialist, chromatography machine operator
