Sample Management Technician

2 weeks ago

Markham, Ontario, Canada IDEXX Full time

We receive thousands of clinical samples every day from Veterinary Clinics, and we run tests on those samples to help veterinarians identify what might be wrong with someone's pet.

As a temporary Sample Management Technician, (SMT), also referred to as a Specimen Processor or Specimen Accessioner; you'd be helping to sort, tag, and prepare the samples for testing.

The samples that we work with are blood, urine, fecal samples, and biopsies that we receive from the vet clinics (no animals on-site) Every sample you help to move along quickly and accurately in the process means we are one step closer to finding out how or why they might be sick.

Thanks to you, someone's very beloved pet will get the treatment plan they need - how great is that?

Our reference laboratories make it possible for our customers to discover more with our unrelenting commitment to innovation, personalized support, guidance, and expertise, while providing the most complete and advanced menu of diagnostic tests along with technology and tools.
