Your duties as a specimen processor, or specimen accessioner, include organizing and cataloging medical specimen sample materials. You typically work in a healthcare laboratory or other clinical setting. Your responsibilities may go beyond receiving and recording patient samples, to storing the samples safely and according to designated processes, and taking any other steps necessary to prepare the samples for analysis by physicians or medical technicians. In some jobs, specimen processors may also collect samples and perform other preparation tasks such as putting blood samples through a centrifuge. These tasks may require additional education and training.
| Aspect | Specimen Processor | Laboratory Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | High school diploma or equivalent; training in specimen handling | High school diploma or associate degree; often additional certifications |
| Work Environment | Laboratory setting, focusing on specimen preparation | Laboratory setting, performing tests and analyses |
| Employer & Industry | Hospitals, clinics, diagnostic labs | Hospitals, research labs, diagnostic facilities |
| Common Search & Comparison | Specimen Processor vs Laboratory Technician |
While both roles work in laboratory environments, a Specimen Processor primarily handles specimen preparation and labeling, whereas a Laboratory Technician performs testing and analysis. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus.
