What are the responsibilities and job description for the Laboratory Technician position at Copper State Laboratory Services?
Overview
Copper State Laboratory Services offers non-invasive, precision diagnostics for GI Diseases so that clinicians can provide personalized treatment plans to their patients. Our best-in-class breath testing technology profiles the microbiome by measuring fermented gases expressed in a patient's breath. The trio-smart breath test is the only test that measures all primary gases produced in the gut: hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide. Profiling these gases aids in the identification of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), intestinal methanogenic overgrowth (IMO), and excess hydrogen sulfide, which provides actionable diagnosis for clinicians to create personalized treatment regiments for patients. Copper State Laboratory Services works in partnership with Gemelli Biotech Corporation to provide clinical testing services so that patients with GI disorders can take their first step towards feeling better.
Copper State operates a lab in Mesa, Arizona and prioritizes a people-first mentality when it comes to its employees, customers, and patient communities.
