I interned one summer at Pfizer in their Analytical Science and Technology lab for 10 -weeks researching the prediction of product quality attributes using NIR, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy. There were many protocols and SOPs to follow to ensure the integrity of the testing. From making sure the instrumentation was properly working and standardized to physically looking at the drugs being tested to see if differences could be detected-(color, size), and every aspect of the process and data had to be properly recorded in a lab notebook and needed to be signed/dated for each test. Overall, it was very interesting internship learning how big pharma performed quality testing on their drugs.
