- Prepare blood components while maintaining aseptic technique and proper storage.
- Evaluate serological reactivity to assist with antibody identification and crossmatch incompatibilities.

- Operate, calibrate, and maintain clinical laboratory instruments and equipment, troubleshoot basic malfunctions, and document in the action log.
- Determine when an instrument's service representative should be contacted for assistance.
- Analyze quality control material for each procedure, record values according to section policy, and report to the technical supervisor when results are outside established limits.
- Perform comparison studies of precision, accuracy, and linearity on new or existing procedures, record proficiency surveys, and route form and reagent quality control as specified in the quality control manuals.
- Assist in the clinical orientation of new or less skilled laboratory personnel as requested by the section supervisor.
- Maintain proper documentation of generated waste.
- Perform order or result entry, and review information for accuracy before verification.
- Document critical call value notifications, duplicate checking, date and time of performance, technologist initials, and expected age-related 'normal' values on all downtime reports as appropriate.
- Check instruments and benches for appropriate reagent and supply levels, replenish as needed, and notify the appropriate person of low inventory items or out-of-date reagents.
- Receive tissue specimens from surgery, autopsy, and the nursing floors, perform proper processing and preservation, and comply with proper specimen storage and preservation of all other non-tissue specimens for non-core laboratory.
