MLTs are a critical component of a functioning healthcare facility. They work under the supervision of physicians, lab managers or lab technologists to conduct lab tests on specimens. The work they do behind-the-scenes helps doctors detect diseases or illnesses and determine treatment options. MLTs perform chemical analyses of body fluids (such as blood or urine) using a microscope or automatic analyzer. These tools help MLTs detect abnormalities or diseases, using a computer to enter their findings throughout the process. These chemical analyses are considered to be a core job duty, but MLTs also use mechanical and electrical devices to ensure their test results conform to specifications.
