Hi Samantha, I have used lab assistants throughout my career. Here is a list of duties they would perform: Accession specimens File blocks and slides Clean glassware Restock supplies Clean work areas Fax/scan/print reports Answer phone Recycle solvents Dump tissue Assist PA's in grossing (make cassettes/document workload)
Have a great Monday!

I would like the know the percentage of labs that utilize assistants versus labs with techs only. I would also like to know that for labs that do utilize assistants, what duties do they perform that the techs are exempt from. I’m simply curious to see how other labs have workflow setup. Thanks for any insight.
