About our Lab Technicians |
- Kathy Johnson has a BS degree in Biology from Framingham State
We have 3 laboratory technicians who work in alternating shifts to
cover the majority of the day and evening hours. All of our lab
technicians are highly trained and meticulous in their work and have taken
additional training in microbiology techniques to allow us to grow bacterial
& fungal cultures in-house . |

Advantages of an In-house Lab |
|
- STAT results- results within minutes if needed (cultures excluded-
these grow over several days)
- Quality control- test fresh samples, re-run questionable tests or new
samples to check accuracy
- Less contamination problems- culture directly without using transport
media
