Chemical technologists set up, conduct, and analyze chemical experiments, tests, and sampling tests for quality control. They operate/maintain laboratory equipment, compile records, and interpret analytical results. They also perform environmental testing, assessments, and may develop or ensure compliance standards are met.

Chemical technicians assist in setting up and conducting chemical experiments/tests. They operate/maintain laboratory equipment and compile records.

Chemical technologists perform some or all of the following duties:

Set up and conduct chemical experiments, tests and analyses using techniques such as chromatography, spectroscopy, physical and chemical separation techniques and microscopy.

Operate and maintain laboratory equipment and apparatus and prepare solutions of gas or liquid, reagents, and sample formulations.

Compile records and interpret experimental or analytical results.
