It’s not just about compliance any more. You’ve seen it in the headlines: 79% of Warning Letters issued by the FDA cite data integrity issues in 2016 (up from just 26% in 2013). But what does this actually mean? Where do these figures come from? Isn’t this just in India or China? What was traditionally…
Endangered analytical chemists face myriad obstacles today – lower than average job forecasts 1, costly and timely training, demand for more versatile knowledge, tighter regulations, and massive data management requirements. Perhaps most significantly, mass spectrometry market forecasts predict a lack of skilled users as a key market constraint2. Senior analytical chemists are presented with a…
