MLTs analyze and produce lab results in five disciplines: Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology, Hematology (blood), Histotechnology (tissue specimens) and Transfusion Science (blood banking). MLTs are able to work almost anywhere in the world, practicing in hospitals, private or public health and government laboratories plus research and educational institutions.
