Scott joined Nelson Labs in 1988, when the company was only three years old. He initially performed bioburden testing as an analyst, learning aseptic techniques and radiation methods. He transitioned into BET testing, mainly using the LAL gel-clot method to detect pyrogenicity. Along with others he helped initiate optical density kinetic methods at Nelson Labs.
Over the years he has served the company in various capacities. Some examples include assisting manufacturers with biosafety testing, writing justification rationales and risk assessments, performing thousands of MEM elution and agar overlay tests, helping bring up the chromosomal aberration test, helping validate the TIR-30 medical device reprocessing tests, supporting the biocompatibility department as Biocompatibility Study Director, and managing the Sterility Assurance department.
Scott’s current role is senior scientist, in which he uses his unique breadth of lab experience and scientific knowledge to benefit customers around the world.
