Nordic Laboratories is part of Nordic Group, a purpose-driven organisation dedicated to improving health globally through functional medicine and a personalised approach to health. As a world-renowned functional medicine brand, Nordic Laboratories supports health practitioners worldwide with genetic and functional testing, clinical education (in-person and online) and supplements.
As we continue to grow and expand our market we are seeking a highly organized, fast-paced, and solution-oriented Laboratory Processing Assistant to join our processing room team in Copenhagen. In this role, you will be the critical first line of defense- receiving, verifying, and preparing highly sensitive patient specimens (blood, saliva, urine, stool, and hair) for analytical processing.
The ideal candidate possesses an unwavering attention to detail to catch subtle protocol deviations and sample issues before they reach our testing tracks.
The role
Intake & Registration
- Unbox, cross-reference, and accurately register incoming clinical test kits against internal system orders.
Quality Control Inspection
- Perform rigorous verification checks to identify and log critical sample issues, including:
- Evaluating specimen volume adequacy (e.g., matching required vial or card fill lines).
- Checking sample integrity (e.g., verifying drying completeness of cards, identifying hemolyzed blood, or noting leaking containers).
- Verifying administrative documentation for missing collection dates, missing collection times, or potential demographic/gender profile mismatches.
