Dear Dr. Miller,

I am writing to express my interest in the Laboratory Technician position, as advertised on your company website. As a recent graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and hands-on experience in laboratory settings, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your team and support your cutting-edge research initiatives.

I developed a strong foundation in various laboratory techniques and procedures. My coursework included intensive study in microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology, providing me with the theoretical knowledge necessary to understand complex scientific concepts. I gained practical experience through my role as a Laboratory Assistant in the Molecular Biology Lab, where I performed DNA extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis, and microscopy.

I was responsible for maintaining accurate records of experimental data, preparing reagents and solutions, and ensuring the laboratory was well-stocked and organized. I also assisted in conducting experiments, analyzing results, and troubleshooting any issues that arose. My attention to detail and ability to follow protocols precisely ensured that experiments were conducted efficiently and accurately.

One of my significant achievements during my internship was optimizing a PCR protocol that increased the yield and purity of amplified DNA by 20%. This improvement was adopted by the entire team and significantly enhanced our research capabilities. Additionally, my proactive approach to maintaining lab safety standards and my ability to work collaboratively with a diverse team of researchers contributed to a productive and positive work environment.

I have attached my resume for your review and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences align with the needs of your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your organization and am excited about the opportunity to further develop my career as a Laboratory Technician.

Sincerely,
