Anagha Jomon

I am an experienced Assistant Laboratory Technician with a strong background in haematology, biochemistry, clinical pathology, and phlebotomy. I worked at the Medical Trust Hospital in Kochi, Kerala, India, a 750-bed multi-specialty NABH accredited hospital, from September 2019 to March 2021. During my time there, I efficiently managed and processed over 700 samples daily with nearly 100% accuracy, ensuring precise and reliable results.

My expertise extends to safe specimen transport, accurate test execution, and strict adherence to safety protocols. I have demonstrated proficiency in handling diverse specimens such as blood, urine, fecal, and CSF, following SOPs and guidelines meticulously. I have also led successful research projects, validating and implementing new testing methods to improve laboratory efficiency.

In terms of equipment, I am proficient in operating various laboratory machines including Siemens, Vitros 5600, Roche Hitachi Cobas e 601, Cobas e 411, STA Compact Max, Sysmex, and Celltac G five-part machines. My routine calibration of equipment significantly reduced downtime by 15% through proactive maintenance schedules.

Safety and quality control are paramount in my work. I have practiced strict adherence to safety protocols, including proper use of personal protective clothing and thorough disinfection of work areas. I have managed hazardous biological materials safely, ensuring minimal incidents and effective reduction of biological hazards. My experience includes conducting daily quality control procedures and maintaining accurate records, which has honed my ability to deliver consistent and error-free results.

I take pride in my ability to handle emergency specimens efficiently, delivering concise and comprehensive reports within turnaround times. My commitment to laboratory excellence, coupled with my technical skills and experience in a high-volume, fast-paced environment, makes me a valuable asset to any medical laboratory team.
