Description:
Chipton-Ross is seeking a Lab Technician for a contract opportunity in Plymouth, MN.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS (REQUIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE): • 1+ years of laboratory experience preferred (sample handling, wet lab techniques, or analytical testing); entry-level candidates with strong lab coursework considered. • Comfortable working with biological fluids and following biosafety practices. • Strong attention to detail with demonstrated ability to document work clearly and follow written procedures. • Basic computer proficiency for data entry and file management (LIMS/ELN experience preferred).
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES: • Receive, label, and process fluid/process samples in accordance with written procedures and chain-of-custody requirements. • Prepare samples and run testing to detect and/or quantify cellular and particulate targets using approved methods and instrumentation. • Identify and document potential interferents and artifacts (e.g., RBCs, fungal elements, lipids) and apply established criteria to distinguish them from true target signals. • Perform routine instrument setup, calibration/verification checks, and basic troubleshooting; document out-of-spec conditions and escalate per procedure. • Maintain accurate, complete, and contemporaneous laboratory records (paper and/or electronic) including calculations, raw data, and observations. • Support method improvements by capturing atypical findings, suggesting refinements to decision criteria, and participating in investigations as assigned. • Maintain a clean and organized workspace; stock consumables and maintain inventory levels needed to support scheduled testing.
• Log sample identifiers and collection metadata (date/time, source, operator, volume, and any deviations) to ensure traceability. • Record sample descriptors needed for grouping / trend analysis, including such things as: o Sampled material (e.g., product/contact material, process condition, or collection location as defined by the lab). o Fluid tube sizing (e.g., tubing inner diameter/size category and configuration, if applicable). o Sample aging (e.g., time from collection to test, storage conditions, and number of freeze/thaw or hold steps if used). • Capture results and classification details (e.g., counts/estimate, confidence flags, and notes) and separately record interferent observations (RBC presence, fungal forms, lipid droplets/particulates) using standard terminology. • Ensure data are entered in the approved format so results can be filtered, compared, and summarized across the required groupings.
