medical laboratory assistant (EN)
ISCO 3212 · v1.2.1
Medical laboratory assistants work under supervision of the biomedical scientist and carry out basic laboratory procedures. They work in the pre-analytical handling of samples such as checking the details of specimens received for analysis, maintaining analysers, loading reagents, and packaging specimens. They also perform clerical tasks such as monitoring the stock levels of reagents used in analysis.
Classification skills are not a measurement of your proficiency or future displaced hours.
