Full Job Description

Overview

AcreLabs is seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented PCR Microbiology Analyst to join our dynamic laboratory team. The ideal candidate will bring a strong foundation in molecular biology techniques, microbiological analysis, and laboratory safety protocols. In this role, you will help keep cannabis products safe for patients and consumers by performing precise, PCR-based pathogen assays in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 and applicable state regulations. Working on the bioMérieux GENE-UP PRO platform and the Bio-Rad CFX C1000 thermocycler, the successful applicant will demonstrate expertise in sample enrichment, DNA extraction, and real-time PCR analysis, ensuring accurate and reliable results that protect public health and support our clients.

Responsibilities

Perform molecular biology assays, including real-time/quantitative PCR (qPCR), to detect Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), Salmonella, and Aspergillus in cannabis flower, concentrates, and infused products.
Enrich, prepare, and incubate samples using selective media (including in-house preparation of Aspergillus Enrichment Broth), maintaining strict aseptic technique throughout.
Perform DNA extraction using GENE-UP lysis and digest workflows, and set up and run PCR on the Bio-Rad CFX C1000 using bioMérieux GENE-UP PRO kits.
Prepare and run quality-control samples, including prep blanks, matrix blanks, and kit positive/negative controls, with every batch to ensure valid and reproducible results.
Interpret quantification-cycle (Cq) and amplification-curve data across multiple detection channels to issue accurate positive, negative, and inhibition calls, and troubleshoot inhibited or invalid runs.
Maintain strict adherence to laboratory safety protocols, and controlled Standard Operating Procedures during all procedures, including proper handling and disposal of biohazardous materials.
Operate a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), such as QBench, to record data, track samples and chain of custody, document deviations, and generate reports.
Maintain instrumentation, including thermocyclers, incubators, centrifuges, and biological safety cabinets, through routine cleaning, calibration, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance.
Collaborate with analysts and laboratory leadership across sites to uphold quality, turnaround time, and consistent results.

Desired Experience

Proven laboratory experience in microbiology or molecular biology is required; cannabis, food-safety, clinical, or environmental testing backgrounds are all welcome.
Demonstrated expertise in DNA extraction and real-time (quantitative) PCR, including interpretation of Cq and amplification-curve data across multiple fluorophore channels.
Working knowledge of aseptic technique, BSL-2 laboratory safety practices, and microbial enrichment methods.
Familiarity with the bioMérieux GENE-UP / Invisible Sentinel platform and the Bio-Rad CFX C1000 thermocycler is highly desirable.
Experience with a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) such as QBench for data and sample management is a plus.
Understanding of quality standards such as ISO/IEC 17025 and applicable state regulatory compliance supports high-quality, defensible results.
Knowledge of viability PCR for distinguishing live from dead cells is a plus.
Strong organizational skills, meticulous documentation habits, and the discipline to follow written procedures exactly.

Join our team as a PCR Microbiology Analyst to help ensure the safety and quality of cannabis products while advancing rigorous, science-driven testing in a fast-paced laboratory environment!
