Medical Laboratory Technologists and Medical Laboratory Scientists perform a crucial role in providing doctors with a firm diagnosis of various clinical conditions with accuracy and precision.
They utilize a vast array of laboratory tests and techniques that ranges from high throughput ones to complex specialized investigations. These ubiquitous super sleuths in their white laboratory coats operate from behind-the-scenes, quietly going about peering down high-powered microscopes or running state-of-the-art instruments that definitively identify the disease or disease-causing microbe.
Other duties may include preparing various types of media as well as receiving and processing specimens, and performing on-going quality control checks.
