Scott Dimond

Senior Scientist 

Scott's career started at Nelson Labs in June 1988 when the company was only three years old. He initially started performing bioburden testing as an analyst, learning aseptic techniques and radiation methods. This testing was followed by BET testing, mainly using the LAL gel-clot method to detect pyrogenicity. Along with others he then helped initiate optical density kinetic methods at Nelson Labs.  Over the years he has transitioned through various roles, including Biocompatibility Study Director, performing thousands of MEM elution and agar overlay tests. He helped bring up the chromosomal aberration test to Nelson Labs. He then assisted in healthcare reprocessing, helping validate the TIR-30 medical device reprocessing tests. He was also a manager in the sterility assurance where he gained much knowledge of cleanroom operations, isolator methods, and method-suitability testing.  As a subcontracting biocompatibility specialist he assisted manufacturers with biosafety testing, consulting, writing justification rationales, risk assessments, and opinion letters for biocompatibility and extraction and leachable testing.  For the last 5 years Scott has been a senior scientist, using his unique breadth of scientific knowledge to benefit Nelson Labs and sponsors around the world. ​​
