**Area of Activity:** Chemielaboranten (m/w/d) work in research, development, and production laboratories in mining, agriculture, industry, universities, medical analytics, environmental protection, material testing, and inspection offices. When transferring a chemical process from small laboratory conditions to industrial application, they are also employed in pilot plants. They test products and processes, examine substances used in the company, from raw materials to auxiliary and operating materials to the final product. They produce substance mixtures as well as organic and inorganic preparations. To determine the structures and properties of substances, they perform, for example, photometric content determinations, apply chromatographic (for separating substance mixtures) methods, and conduct volumetric, gravimetric, and spectroscopic analyses. Depending on the task (and the focus of their Ausbildung), they identify and utilize microorganisms, electrochemically examine substances, perform immunological and diagnostic as well as biotechnological and cell culture techniques. However, they can also specialize in the production and testing of coating materials. They carry out analyses and metrological tasks largely independently. Since they often work with hazardous substances, they must carefully observe the relevant safety, health, and environmental protection regulations.
