According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first use of the term laboratory technician was in 1896:[1]
It [sc. a therapeutic property] is now totally abandoned by the advanced laboratory technicians.
The term is now widely accepted. Laboratory technicians are found in a wide range of scientific fields, including forensic science, pathology, chemistry, biomedical science and physics. Laboratory technicians may hold a range of formal academic qualifications, such as associate degrees, often obtained through vocational education. They are usually supervised by laboratory managers.[2]
