Job Description

EAG Laboratories is a global leader in analytical chemistry, advanced microscopy, surface analysis and analytical testing services of various types of materials from synthetic biomaterials to nanotechnology.  Our laboratories are at the forefront of this revolution, providing the scientific expertise and analytical techniques to support companies at every phase of the product lifecycle, from R&D to manufacturing.

Our laboratory in Maryland Heights, Missouri provides organic chemistry testing specializing in investigative analytical chemistry. Among our wide range of unique projects, one focus area is the chemical characterization of extractables and leachables from medical devices. To complement this work, we are expanding to add in vitro testing capabilities for toxicology studies. Examples include cell culture studies to evaluate cytotoxicity, irritation, genotoxicity, and other biological effects of products and materials. These studies are used by clients during product R&D as well as regulatory body registration. As industry testing shifts away from in vivo methods and to in vitro models, we expect this new endeavor to be an exciting and successful addition to the EAG line of services.
