Interested in perfecting the systems and
procedures of cutting-edge research and
production?
Making a biotechnology product involves
meeting specifications for precision and
safety. Many of these products are consumed by
people and animals, or are distributed into
their environment. For example, in the quality
control step, a close eye is kept on what
should be and what is going into a particular
drug. Quality Assurance requires the product to
meet certain standards and specifications.
Quality Control and Quality Assurance are
commonly known as "QC" and "QA." Testing and
standards are the key to QC and QA, and the
real core of these jobs is to be sure
that things are being done right. These are the
people who ensure that products are what the
labels say they are.
