You will receive and quarantine all specimen packages, check specimens for acceptance criteria, and code non-testable specimens. Additionally, you will assist in strip manufacturing duties, including cutting and preparing strips for coating, and handle the logging of laboratory supplies. Manual entry and verification of laboratory results will also be part of your tasks. Notify your supervisor of any deviations from documented procedures.
