    00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:01.500
>> My name is Stacie Fichthorn.

    00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:06.890
I am a principle chemist and a group
leader at Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories.

    00:00:06.890 --> 00:00:10.430
I have been with Eurofins for 17 years.

    00:00:10.430 --> 00:00:14.530
After I graduated from Millersville
that was my first job and I've stayed

    00:00:14.530 --> 00:00:18.050
with not only the same company but also
the same department during that time.

    00:00:18.050 --> 00:00:25.250
My day consists of meeting with different
individuals throughout our company working

    00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:27.530
on logistics of projects.

    00:00:27.530 --> 00:00:35.270
I work with a team of 13 chemists and
we design experiments for clients to use

    00:00:35.270 --> 00:00:37.690
for their raw materials in
the pharmaceutical industry.

    00:00:37.690 --> 00:00:43.700
When we are starting with a new project
at our facility, we are talking to clients

    00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:47.700
on that first contact, making
contact with the client,

    00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:50.560
and making sure that we understand
what their needs are.

    00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.490
Understanding what materials they're
sending to us, understanding what type

    00:00:53.490 --> 00:00:57.260
of testing they may require
within our chemistry laboratory.

    00:00:57.260 --> 00:01:02.350
The testing may include purity testing
to make sure that the material is

    00:01:02.350 --> 00:01:08.680
of a known purity before it's being
used in the manufacture of medications

    00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:14.080
and it could also involve testing to
make sure that it's safe for the consumer

    00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:17.100
to actually use on a day-to-day basis.
