Biomedical laboratory diagnosticians with a bachelor's degree in the central laboratory
Who they are, what they do and which devices they use: a research-based profile for recruiting this target group for MedTech and pharma projects.
Overview
Biomedical laboratory diagnosticians with a bachelor's degree work in routine and emergency diagnostics in the hospital medical laboratory, for example in hematology, microbiology, histology and genetics. They perform analyses independently, choose the methods and equipment for them, and evaluate and communicate the results. They assess new analytical methods on a scientific basis, validate them and transfer them into daily laboratory routine. Toward physicians and other health professionals they act as diagnostic partners, for example in method selection and the interpretation of test results. Their profile includes project, quality and process management as well as organizing the laboratory. With professional experience they take on tasks in management, education and research.

Frequently asked questions
Do biomedical laboratory diagnosticians have a say in which methods and devices are used in the laboratory?
Yes. According to the university they perform measurements independently and choose the methods and equipment. They scientifically assess new analytical methods, validate them and introduce them into routine.
Do they work in daily routine or only in projects?
Both. The sources name routine and emergency diagnostics in a hospital medical laboratory as well as research and development projects.
How do they differ from laboratory staff without a university degree?
According to the university and the professional society they additionally bring research methods, evidence-based practice, statistics and informatics as well as project, change, quality and process management. Laboratory staff with vocational training can complete the degree in shortened form.
Are they a point of contact for physicians with questions about test results?
