Chemistry auditor

The chemistry auditor usually audits only the analytical chemistry portions for health effects or ecotoxicology studies and the entire data file for environmental, residue, product chemistry, and metabolism studies. 

In addition to observing the procedure being performed during the conduct of in-process inspections of chemistry analyses, the data collection practices and the data capture system should be inspected. The QA auditor should review the protocol and applicable SOPs for data collection practices and the procedure prior to conducting the in-process inspection. 

There is also a negative aspect to consistency. Data which are too consistent are also suspect. Variability patterns are usually quite reproducible from experiment to experiment. Less than usual variability does not always mean better and more careful experimentation. To an auditor, it may suggest the application of mental telepathy or what, in my student days, was known as graphite chemistry. 

In 1940, he accepted an adjunct professorship at Polytechnic Institute in Brooklyn, which provided a teadier s visa and a consultanship with tiie DuPont company, his first course, "General Polymer Chemistry," attracted few graduate students but attracted auditors such as Emil Ott, Milton Harris, H.M. Spurlin, Calvin Schildknecht, I. Allen, H. Bender, W.J. Hamburger, E.O. Kraemer, and J.D. Sally.
