What does a specimen collector do?

Specimen collectors collect specimens, such as blood, urine or tissue samples, in medical laboratories. They perform basic data entry tasks, get samples ready for additional laboratory testing and processing, and transport the samples to different facilities. More advanced positions may include other field or laboratory work, such as drawing blood or preparing tissue samples for microscopic analysis. High-level written and verbal communication skills are essential in this position. Specimen collectors or processors who work for government agencies also need to ensure that their collection processes follow the agency’s regulations and guidelines on drug and sample testing.
