Subject: Application for QC Chemist Position

Dear Hiring Manager,

My name is Senthilkumar B, and I am writing to express my interest in a Quality Control Chemist role at your esteemed organization. I hold a Master’s degree in Chemistry from Kalasalingam University and have gained hands-on experience through academic research and an industry internship.During my six-month internship at Piramal Pharma Solutions (R&D Department), I was exposed to various analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, FTIR, and NMR. I actively supported compound analysis, impurity profiling, and documentation practices aligned with GLP and ICH guidelines.

In my M.Sc. project, I focused on the synthesis and analysis of pyrazole-based heterocycles, which strengthened my skills in sample preparation, purification, and chemical data interpretation. I am also well-versed in titration methods, pH measurement, reagent handling, and standard operating procedures commonly used in QC labs.I am enthusiastic, detail-oriented, and ready to contribute effectively to a QC team. I am available to join immediately and am eager to support your quality assurance efforts.
Thank you for considering my application. I would be grateful for an opportunity to discuss how I can be an asset to your Quality Control department.
