“What Medical Laboratory Technicians Do”

Medical laboratory technicians perform laboratory tests. These tests are an important way for physicians and patients to detect, diagnose, and treat disease. For example, tests can determine the level of medication in the blood to see whether a patient is taking the proper dosage and whether the body is responding to the treatment. Medical laboratory technicians are specialized lab technologists who prepare specimens and analyze the chemicals and hormones found in body fluids (blood, urine, spinal fluid, and gastric juices). The technician’s exact duties depend on the test being performed. If the test is automated, the technician is responsible for calibrating (setting), loading specimens into, and monitoring the instruments to make sure all goes

correctly. After the results are ready, the technician verifies their accuracy and sends them out or reports them to the attending physician. A test that is more involved, such as identifying cell types in leukemia, requires very different procedures, including special stains and chromosome studies. Because of their advanced education and training, medical laboratory technicians handle more sophisticated equipment and testing. They may be responsible for ordering, purchasing, maintaining, and repairing the specialized equipment and instruments required for the laboratory tests. They design new laboratory procedures and establish or continue training and supervision of other employees in laboratory procedures and skills. Medical laboratory technicians work most often in hospitals, clinics, and commercial laboratories. They also work for pharmaceutical companies developing new products.
