Working In A Laboratory
Testing of diseases is carried out in a laboratory using lab equipment and then proper treatment is carried out. Urine, blood, and other fluids are some of the samples that are tested in laboratories. Laboratories also carry out testing on tissue and many other substances. The people who work in laboratories are general lab technicians and medical lab technologists.
General lab technicians do not need as much education as medical lab technologists because they do not perform in-depth work. Medical lab technologist needs to get an education to a degree level and even advance to a masters level. Doctors use the results that come from laboratories to determine the illness of a patient or to test for a specific illness in a patient.
Analysis of body fluids and also tissue samples is the work that is carried out at LifeBrite Laboratories. After analysis, recording of the normal findings or even the abnormal findings is done. LifeBrite Laboratories technicians also study blood samples and look for things such as the blood type, number of cells, and check whether blood is compatible with other blood types.
The LifeBrite Laboratories technicians use special laboratory equipment such as microscopes and other equipment when they carry out tests. They may use automated equipment that will help in carrying out the tests. LifeBrite Laboratories technicians and technologists are also capable of performing many tests at the same time using some of the computerized equipment. All the data that is collected from the test that is carried out is entered into a patient’s records and this is the work of LifeBrite Laboratories technicians and technologists.
Doctors may discuss some of the findings that they get from the LifeBrite Laboratories technicians and technologists especially in cases where there are abnormal results.
Medical laboratory technologists carry out training of technicians at LifeBrite Laboratories. At LifeBrite Laboratories, the supervision of lab work is carried out by medical laboratory technologists. This is because they have the experience and knowledge that is required to monitor activities in the laboratory.
Laboratory managers can also carry out supervision and they can be found in some laboratories. Immunology technologists, clinical chemistry technologist, blood bank technologist, cytotechnologist among others are some of the medical laboratory technologists who have specialized in different areas and they can be found in large laboratories. specialization in these areas may come as a result of one choosing to specialize in one area after they have worked in the laboratory for a time. One may need to get advanced training in order to specialize in some of these areas.
