  Technologist - COVID Testing

  As a Molecular Technologist, I was entrusted with handling over 1500 COVID specimens delivered to us from across the country. I used my micropipette skills to aliquot COVID-19 specimens into 96-well plates during extraction and system processing. This also involved rigorous documentation of preventive maintenance and quality control procedures. I operated various high-tech instruments such as TECAN, KingFisher Flex, and QuantStudios 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System, performing Quality Control and Preventative Maintenance procedures for each. Ensuring the cleanliness and safety of our Bio-Safety Cabinets was an additional duty I carried out diligently, which allowed us to deliver accurate, non-contaminated results within 24 hours.
