Histotechnician

Job Overview

Histotechnicians do the unseen but essential work behind every pathology report. You're the one who takes tissue samples and turns them into slides a pathologist can actually read. It's precise, methodical work ; you're cutting, staining, and mounting specimens in a lab that demands accuracy over speed. In Charleston, SC, this role typically sits inside hospital labs or diagnostic reference centers. You won't be interacting with patients much, but your hands are on every single sample that comes through.

Duties & Responsibilities / JobXi / Charleston, SC

• Tissue processing. You embed, section, and mount tissue onto glass slides using microtomes. Each block has to be oriented perfectly ; one wrong cut and you lose diagnostic material.
• Staining. Routine H&E stains are your bread and butter. You'll also run special stains like immunohistochemistry and some histochemical procedures when directed.
• Quality control. Every slide you produce gets reviewed for thickness, clarity, and artifact issues before it reaches the pathologist's desk. If something's off, you troubleshoot on the spot ; re cut, re stain, or make adjustments to equipment settings.
• Instrument maintenance. microtomes get dull. Stainers clog up after heavy runs. You check fluid levels daily and recalibrate machines according to schedule so nothing slows down turnaround times.
• Recordkeeping. Logging case numbers matching slides specimen by specimen is non negotiable in a lab environment ; there's no room for mix ups in clinical pathology where lives depend on results being accurate down
