näytejärjestelijäs

A näytejärjestelijäs, often translated as a sample organizer or specimen handler, is a role or function primarily found in laboratory settings, particularly in healthcare, research, and industrial quality control. The core responsibility of a näytejärjestelijäs is to manage, track, and organize biological or material samples collected for testing or analysis. This involves receiving samples, ensuring they are properly labeled, and then allocating them to the correct departments or testing protocols.

Key duties typically include maintaining an accurate inventory of all samples, which might involve using a laboratory information management system (LIMS) or other tracking methods. They are responsible for the proper storage of samples, ensuring conditions such as temperature and humidity are maintained to preserve sample integrity. This can also extend to preparing samples for transport to external laboratories, ensuring all necessary documentation is in order.

The role requires meticulous attention to detail to prevent mix-ups or loss of samples, which could compromise testing results. A näytejärjestelijäs must understand basic laboratory procedures and safety protocols, particularly regarding the handling of potentially hazardous materials. While not always a direct scientific role, it is a critical support function that ensures the smooth and accurate operation of a laboratory by maintaining order and traceability of all specimens.
