What are some common challenges faced by LC-MS Scientists when developing new analytical methods?

LC-MS Scientists often encounter challenges such as matrix effects, where components in the sample interfere with analyte detection, and the need to balance sensitivity with specificity. Method development also requires careful optimization of sample preparation, chromatographic conditions, and mass spectrometer settings to achieve accurate, reliable results. Collaboration with colleagues in sample preparation, data analysis, and quality assurance is key to troubleshooting and refining methods. Staying current with advancements in instrumentation and software can also help overcome technical challenges and improve workflow efficiency.

What are LC-MS scientists?

LC-MS scientists are analytical chemists who specialize in using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) techniques to identify, quantify, and analyze chemical compounds in various samples. They play a critical role in fields such as pharmaceuticals, environmental science, food safety, and biotechnology by preparing samples, operating LC-MS instruments, and interpreting complex data. Their work helps ensure product safety, compliance with regulations, and advances in research and development.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an LC-MS Scientist, and why are they important?

To excel as an LC-MS Scientist, a strong background in analytical chemistry, experience with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and at least a bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant scientific field are essential. Familiarity with data analysis software (such as MassLynx or Xcalibur), instrument calibration, and method development is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication help scientists interpret data accurately and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams. These skills are crucial for ensuring high-quality analytical results and supporting research or regulatory compliance in laboratory settings.

Job description

LC-MS/MS — Clinical Toxicology Technologist

Rocky Mountain Laboratories is a clinical laboratory providing comprehensive laboratory services. We are dedicated to delivering accurate and timely diagnostic information and are committed to improving healthcare outcomes through cutting-edge technology and a customer-focused approach.

Position

Rocky Mountain Laboratories is hiring an experienced Clinical Laboratory Technologist — also known as a Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) or Medical Technologist (MT) — with hands-on clinical toxicology and LC-MS/MS experience to join our toxicology team in Draper, Utah.

This is a bench-level, production-focused role in a CLIA-certified, high-complexity toxicology laboratory. You'll perform immunoassay screening and LC-MS/MS confirmatory testing on drugs of abuse, pain management, and therapeutic drug monitoring panels. We're looking for someone who takes quality control seriously, can troubleshoot without losing momentum, and is ready to contribute in a specialized environment where your experience is put to real use.

Job Type: Full-time, W2

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. | Day shift

Pay: $31.00–$38.00 per hour Compensation is commensurate with experience. Candidates with clinical toxicology and LC-MS/MS confirmatory testing experience will be considered at the higher end of the range.

Location: Draper, UT — reliable commute or relocation required before start date

Responsibilities:
  • Full-cycle clinical toxicology testing — immunoassay screening and LC-MS/MS confirmatory analysis for drugs of abuse (DOA), pain management, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) panels
  • Specimen preparation for urine and oral fluid samples per established SOPs (dilute-and-shoot, aliquoting, filtration, and related techniques)
  • Batch setup, loading, and processing on triple quadrupole mass spectrometry and chemistry analyzer platforms
  • Instrument operation, calibration, and routine/preventive maintenance — including Agilent 6460 triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS and Beckman Coulter AU 480/680 (experience on these platforms is a strong plus)
  • Data review — evaluating calibration curves, QC data, and patient results for accuracy and acceptability prior to release
  • Identification and resolution of anomalies, interferences, QC failures, and out-of-range results; initiating reruns and corrective actions
  • Reagent, calibrator, control, and standard solution preparation per laboratory procedures
  • Accurate and complete documentation: instrument logs, maintenance records, QC charts, and batch records
  • Inventory monitoring and proactive communication of reorder needs
  • Participation in QA activities, proficiency testing, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Support for method validation and verification activities as directed
  • Collaboration with team members and supervisors on assay, workflow, and instrumentation troubleshooting
Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in medical laboratory science, clinical laboratory science, chemistry, biology, or a closely related field — OR — an Associate degree in laboratory science or medical laboratory technology from an accredited institution (with 6 credits chemistry, 6 credits biology, and 12 additional credits in either)
  • At least 1 year of hands-on experience performing high-complexity clinical toxicology testing in a CLIA-certified laboratory (drugs of abuse, pain management panels, or TDM)
  • Hands-on LC-MS/MS experience in a clinical or regulated laboratory environment
  • Documented clinical lab training or equivalent experience per CLIA §493.1489
  • Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and analytical thinking
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel
  • Ability to pass a post-offer drug screen — required for all personnel working in a federally regulated drug testing laboratory per applicable CLIA and federal guidelines
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience on Agilent 6460 triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS and/or Beckman Coulter AU 480/680 or equivalent chemistry analyzer platforms
  • Proficiency with Agilent MassHunter or comparable mass spectrometry data analysis software
  • Experience with sample preparation techniques for LC-MS/MS (dilute-and-shoot, solid-phase extraction, liquid-liquid extraction)
  • ASCP MLS(ASCP) or AMT MT certification
  • Strong working knowledge of CLIA regulations, CAP standards, and QC practices
  • Experience with laboratory information systems (LIS) and electronic result reporting
  • Familiarity with batch processing and high-throughput sample workflows in a clinical toxicology setting

Benefits for full-time W2 Team Members: Benefits begin 60 days after the first full month of full-time employment.

  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Paid Time Off (21 days annually for full-time team members)
  • 7 Paid Holidays
  • 401(k) with 50% Company Match up to 6%
  • Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Short-Term & Long-Term Disability (RML covers 60% of STD premium)
  • Voluntary Life and AD&D Insurance
  • 100% Company-Funded Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Ideal start date: As soon as possible
