Laboratory Sample Processor, Part-Time

Part-Time Laboratory Sample Processor

Monday-Friday

$22 / hr

NORTH GRAFTON, MA

We receive thousands of clinical samples daily from veterinary clinics and run tests on them to help veterinarians identify potential issues with pets.  As a part-time Laboratory Sample Processor, 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 move through the process quickly and accurately brings us one step closer to understanding 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? This is a part-time position.

The IDEXX reference laboratories are a global network united by a shared commitment to enhancing pet care, where the true strength in our name is the people behind it. 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.
