Receive and verify biopsy samples from embryology labs. Perform DNA amplification, whole genome amplification (WGA), and library preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS) in accordance with standard protocols. Operate and maintain lab equipment such as thermocyclers, centrifuges, and NGS platforms (e.g., Iontorrent; Illumina). Ensure accurate tracking of samples using laboratory information systems (LIS). Validate inputs, equipment and new protocols in accordance with the laboratory guidelines. Adhere strictly to laboratory quality control and quality assurance standards. Assist with data entry, documentation, and review of test results under supervision of clinical supervisors or geneticists. Maintain a sterile and compliant work environment following CLIA/CAP/ISO standards. Participate in validation and proficiency testing as required by accreditation bodies.
