Lab Technician Jobs in New Mexico

A Lab Technician in the biotechnology industry is responsible for assisting scientists in their research and experiments. Their duties typically include setting up lab equipment, collecting and preparing samples for analysis, recording and interpreting test results, and maintaining a clean and safe laboratory environment. They also play a crucial role in performing and documenting quality control and equipment calibration, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and preparing reports. Lab Technicians must be skilled in using laboratory equipment and should be proficient in computer technology and software used for data analysis. They should also possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

Before becoming a Lab Technician, a person may have roles such as a Research Assistant, where they gain practical research and lab skills, or a Lab Assistant, where they get hands-on experience with lab maintenance and sample preparation. Additionally, a position as a Quality Control Analyst can provide valuable experience in performing quality control checks and documenting results. Certification as a Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) or Clinical Laboratory Technician (CLT) from an accredited organization like the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) is often required. A Bachelor's degree in Biology, Chemistry, or a related field is usually preferred, though an associate degree may be sufficient for some entry-level positions.
