Lab Tech

- Set up, operate, and monitor tables for biotechnology production. These tables are ran by a computer and a small laser.
set up: getting the microscope aligned; putting the sample accurately on the microscope; getting the computer program set up to accurately display the image on the screen to be able to find the sample. The hardest part is manipulating the microscope and computer screen to find the cell populations which are microscopic. This takes a lot of patience and time.
- Once the table is set up and sample is properly in scope on the computer monitor, operator will be monitoring and manipulating data on the computer monitor to make sure the sample is correctly in place and doesn't move outside of range.

There will be a lot of standing at the computer and doing nothing but monitoring the cells on the computer screen for long periods of time. It is critical that although this may be a mundane / boring task at times, that there is still a very high attention to detail and observing to anticipate and react to potential problems and take preventative action.
