      The job of a lab technician can vary depending where you are. A lab tech will support the lead scientist/senior scientist with their work. They will maintain equipment, make up solutions and perform other procedures.

      My role as a lab tech is like an applications chemist. Someone will make some chemicals and I will test them to see if they work.
