analytical chemistry expert |
Expert has worked the field of analytical chemistry for over 30 years. His PhD thesis was on phosphorus NMR as a trace analytical tool. He joined Goodyear and both developed analytical methods mainly using HPLC and GC and after 6 years he managed the methods development, spectroscopy (IR, GC-MS, NMR, XRD), and chromatographic analyses. These techniques were applied to elastomeric polymers and compound ingredients, i.e. curatives, accelerators, AOs, and process aids. He joined Abbott Labs where he worked on plant troubleshooting with analytical chemistry and became the Technical Director where he directed the development of elastomeric and thermoplastic components - chemistry, curing, prototyping, and transfer to manufacturing. Applications included drug interactions, extractables, generic drugs, biocompatibility, and USP testing. He also taught a course on Pharmaceutical Rubber Chemistry for pharmacists and analytical chemistry at R&D, Regulatory Affairs, and several of the drug manufacturing plants. |

analytical test expert |
He has been developing analytical test methods for over 30 years. Beginning with his PhD thesis on using phosphorus NMR as a trace analysis tool. Then joined Goodyear and developed over 30 HPLC methods supporting research and commercial programs. He then managed the methods development group which during the following 9 years involved managing the development of an additional analytical methods for IR, NMR, XRD, chromatography, and wet chemistry. Expert then went to Abbott Labs where he developed a custom spectrometer for use as a QC tool for insuring that a plastic cuvette used in a diagnostic medical test met a clarity release test. He also conducted several tests on elastomeric closures (USP 381) and extractable studies on drug packages. His forte is analytical test method development based on chromatograph, spectroscopy, or other techniques. He published an HPLC method on terephthalic aicd with a detection limit of 25ppb in 1980 and a method for nitrosamines in baby bottle nipples in 1998. |
|
generic drug expert |
While working at Abbott Labs, expert was involved with several of the generic drug teams to assist them in the launching of new generic drugs. He conducted reverse engineering studies on competitor's elastomeric closures as well as USP testing to attempt to determine the innovator's elastomeric compound. Most recently he was involved with the evaluation of extractables in the generic drug closure as well as potency studies. Expert was involved with several generic drug teams as the expert on the closure and its related issues. |
|
polymer science expert |
Expert has worked with polymers for almost 30 years. He started with elastomers at Goodyear. He has finished several of Goodyear polymer plants to assist in troubleshooting process problems. He also represented Goodyear at the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry at the Univ of Washington where he monitored several research programs focused on developing process analytical chemistry devices with the intent of reducing costs and improving product quality. At Abbott, expert has done consulting on polymers used in drug packages and medical devices. He also taught a seminar on Pharmaceutical Rubber Chemistry which included a section of rubber chemistry and pharmaceutical compound development. |
