Pathology lab technicians support surgical and anatomic pathology services by receiving, labeling, and processing tissue and cytology specimens. They perform fixation, grossing assistance, tissue embedding, microtomy, staining, and slide preparation for pathologist review. They may assist with frozen sections, special stains, and immunohistochemistry under supervision. Strong focus is placed on sample identification, specimen integrity, biosafety, and meticulous workflow documentation. They work closely with pathologists, surgeons, and operating theatre staff, primarily in hospital pathology labs and reference centres. Increasing surgical volumes, cancer diagnostics, and specialized histopathology services sustain steady demand for trained pathology technicians.
