Some practical laboratory experience (academic, placement or industrial).
Awareness of laboratory quality systems and accreditation (ISO/IEC EN 10725 standard and UKAS)
Familiarity with disinfectants, biocides or antimicrobial testing (desirable).
Competence in basic data analysis and calculations.

Key Skills
