Medical Laboratory Technology a.k.a clinical laboratory science helpsdiagnose, treat and prevent disease through clinical laboratory tests. It iscomplementaryltt medicaltodi l science.iIt involvesilanalysisl i off bodyb d matterttsuch as fluid, tissue, and blood. It also covers micro-organism screening,chemical analyses, and cell count. These professionals, medical labtechnicians and technologists,technologists play an important role in collectinginformation, sampling, testing, reporting and documenting medicalinvestigations.

Theygenerally have more training than a medical laboratory technician,technician who performsroutine testing under stipulated conditions.Technicians may help by preparingspecimens and operating automated sample analysing machines, setting up testingequipment, keeping the lab clean, maintaining tools and conditions etc.

A Medical Laboratory Technologist should be disciplined and attentive. AMedical Laboratory Technologist should also have the ability to conductresearch finish tasks with speed as well as with accuracy,research,accuracy to handle stress,stressmake analytical judgment, interpreting technical/scientific data, knowledgeof laboratory instrumentation, mechanical ability and the ability to usecomputers.computers

Medical Technologists are an integral part of the medical profession.profession Theseprofessionals get involved in practical and technical work to aid correct diagnosisand effective functioning of Biochemical Laboratories.The career prospects in this field depend on the academic and technical skills of thetechnologist/technician.h l/ hInitiallyll he/sheh / h joins any laboratoryl bas a certifiedf d medicald llaboratory technician.
