Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the open position within your organisation. With over 3 years of experience in ISO 17025 UKAS-accredited laboratories, I have developed strong expertise in microbiological testing, environmental sample analysis, quality control, and laboratory compliance. I am keen to contribute my technical knowledge, analytical skills, and commitment to quality-driven laboratory practices to your team.

In my current role as a Microbiologist at Eurofins Water Hygiene Testing, I perform microbiological analysis of water and environmental samples while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, SOPs, and client requirements. I support laboratory investigations, deviation management, CAPA activities, internal audits, quality improvement initiatives, and staff training. My experience with LIMS, data integrity, sample traceability, and quality management systems has strengthened my ability to deliver accurate, reliable, and compliant analytical results.

Previously, as a Microbiology Analyst and Laboratory Technician, I gained hands-on experience in high-throughput microbiological testing, filtration techniques, colony enumeration, microbial identification, media preparation, aseptic practices, and quality control testing. I have also supported method verification, validation activities, proficiency testing, and troubleshooting of analytical challenges within accredited laboratory environments.

Alongside my industrial experience, I hold an MSc in Biotechnology (Distinction) from the University of Greenwich, where I completed a research project focused on CFTR gene analysis in cystic fibrosis. This provided me with expertise in PCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA extraction, purification, quantification, and bioinformatics-based sequence analysis. My technical capabilities are further supported by strong documentation skills, scientific data analysis, and proficiency in MS Office and laboratory management systems.

I aspire to join your organisation because of its commitment to scientific excellence, innovation, and maintaining high standards of quality and compliance. I believe my combination of laboratory expertise, problem-solving ability, and dedication to continuous improvement would allow me to make a valuable contribution to your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how my experience and skills align with your organisation’s requirements.

Yours sincerely,

Ariba Surve
