- Research and identify modern scientific methods and Chemistry principles during the development of new lab experiments. This includes testing, preparing, and conducting new lab procedures, and observing and appropriately recording the results to ensure consistency and verify expected outcomes for the experiments. Ensure that the new lab experiments and any documentation or standard operating procedures comply with the relevant legislative requirements and university policies.
- Ensure that any new equipment meets the necessary specifications for current and future experiments and that the inventory of current equipment and supplies is up-to-date and maintained.

This includes regular setup and testing of experiments prior to the student lab, preparing experiments that require unique setups, such as the super-cooling of samples, working with cryogenic fluids (e.g., liquid nitrogen, helium) as required, and performing other maintenance duties. Regularly test the modified lab experiments to assess the safety and functionality of the equipment.
