Their duties often include preparing reagents, setting up and maintaining laboratory equipment, handling and processing samples, and assisting with data entry and analysis. They work under the supervision of senior laboratory staff to ensure that test results are accurate and that laboratory protocols are followed. This role is crucial in clinical, research, and diagnostic laboratories, especially for detecting infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
