Provide technical support and assistance to laboratory personnel by setting up and reading basic microbiology tests such as serial dilutions and colony counts, diffusion and dilution susceptibility tests using specified instrumentation and equipment according to Standard Operating Procedures.
Produce reliable and accurate records of results obtained and laboratory work undertaken in appropriate laboratory and log books according to Good Documentation Practice to facilitate data analysis and interpretation by senior laboratory staff.
