Phlebotomy technicians, also referred to as a phlebotomist, have an essential role in the clinical laboratory process, as their main job duty is drawing patient's (or animal) blood for testing to help in the detection and diagnosis of disease, transfusions, donations, and research. They are employed in hospitals, clinics, private practices, diagnostic laboratories, and blood banks. Phlebotomy technicians properly label, store, and deliver samples to the laboratory or drop-off point. Their job duties include ensuring quality control throughout the process, making sure specimens are not contaminated. They also perform record keeping, entering patient information and blood testing results. They collect blood primarily by performing venipuncture, and for collection of minute quantities of blood; fingerstick, or for infants through a heel stick.
