Their duties typically include receiving, labeling, sorting, and sometimes centrifuging blood, urine, or tissue samples. They ensure samples are stored properly and delivered to the correct departments for testing. Lab Processing Technicians play a critical role in maintaining sample integrity and supporting accurate laboratory results. They often work in hospitals, diagnostic labs, or research facilities.
