Candidate
Jenna Bestwick (Applied Biological Sciences)

Project Objective

Biotal Technologies develop microbial and anti-microbial products they were seeking a graduate to work on a range of areas within the business including:

  • The growth of product bacteria
  • Microbial enumeration
  • Media Preparation
  • Aseptic techniques
  • Stability measurements
  • Disinfectant testing

Project Outcome

“My objectives at the start of the placement were to learn more microbiology techniques and the way in which a small business operates. I am now much more confident working in a laboratory environment and also had the opportunity to gain an insight into the marketing side of the business.”

“During the placement there was a very friendly atmosphere which made me feel settled very quickly. I learnt a lot from the experience developing techniques in a laboratory which I had not learnt in university. The experience allowed me to develop my interpersonal skills and made me more aware of the importance of time management in the work place.”
