Job description

Description:

True North, LLC is looking for a motivated and skilled Sample Receipt and Preperation Technician to join our growing organization!


Come and work for an organization that is a key player helping to shape the OCM testing industry.


The ideal candidate must be located in Minnesota within a reasonable distance from Roseville, MN and will perform routine and non-routine intake, testing and disposal on botanicals, extracts, food, beverages, and other materials as deemed appropriate by management using validated methods. Ensures data integrity and on-time, audit-ready results per ISO/IEC 17025 and Minnesota OCM/CTA requirements. Supports method verification/validation, instrument qualification, and continuous process improvement.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Receive and accurately log samples with complete CoC and LIMS records; meet turnaround targets for staging batches.
  • Deliver correctly prepared, traceable samples/aliquots that meet method/SOP acceptance criteria.
  • Maintain storage integrity (time/temperature/conditions) and prevent cross-contamination/mix-ups.
  • Keep receipt and preparation equipment and areas fit-for-use with documented checks/cleaning.
  • Provide complete, audit-ready documentation; support audits/inspections.

Key Duties:

  • Verify shipment and condition (labels, seals, temperature, physical state).

  • Create intake records in LIMS and establish chain-of-custody, assign/apply unique sample IDs/labels (incl. aliquots); and maintain sample identity/status at all times (received, in-prep, on-hold, disposed).
  • Coordinate rush/priority queues with analysts/PMs and stage batches per schedule.

  • Perform basic prep: balance/pipette checks, serial dilutions, extractions/cleanups, filtrations/centrifugation, simple acid/base digestions; track reagent/solvent lots and expiry.
  • Conduct aseptic transfers and dilutions; set up enrichments; prepare/label aliquots.
  • Place items into controlled ambient/refrigerated/frozen storage, monitor and document excursions, initiate holds and notify leads/QA when needed.
  • Complete receipt/prep forms, weigh sheets, dilution records, and equipment logs, attach records in LIMS with audit trail and correct errors per the data-correction SOP.
  • Identify and flag damaged/compromised/out-of-criteria shipments or samples, open deviations and assist with investigation.
  • Segregate chemical/biological waste, neutralize or autoclave where required, document disposal, and decontaminate surfaces/equipment between batches.
  • Maintain tidy workspaces and follow EHS, chemical/biological hygiene, and PPE requirements.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Authorized to:

  • Accept, hold, or reject samples at receipt based on acceptance criteria (labeling, condition, temperature, volume, CoC).
  • Place work/sample on hold and notify leads/QA for quality, safety, or data-integrity concerns.
  • Operate assigned receipt/prep equipment and confirm fit-for-use following required checks.
  • Request SOP/form/template changes via QA/Document Control.

Company Benefits: True North, LLC offers 100% employer paid Medical, Dental and Vision coverage - an amazing benefit; along with competitive PTO and retirement matching.

Requirements:

Education / Certification:

  • BS in Chemistry, Microbiology, Food/Environmental Science, or related field preferred.
  • 3+ year in a lab or regulated operations environment preferred (sample handling, weighing, pipetting, or aseptic technique).
  • Familiarity with ISO/IEC 17025, ALCOA+, and LIMS desirable
