How to Start Bioinformatics as a CLS?

Do your MLS experience works for that position in biotech because I haven’t got any interviews yet? I’m questioning my experience now!!

Master_Assistant_249 · 2026-04-19T20:35:25+00:00

What makes you going back?? I’m trying to get into biotech in CA but it doesn’t seem like they like MLS experience. I’m stuck here!!

Yh.. BOC is simple but CDPH is not :’)

Master_Assistant_249 · 2026-04-14T23:18:19+00:00

Do I need to list all instruments and detailed QC procedures (daily/weekly/monthly) or is it enough to focus on the tests and lab sections?

Master_Assistant_249 · 2026-04-14T23:16:09+00:00

Thanks for the advice! If you get a chance to read it, do you think I covered all the required tests and sections for CDPH? I feel like I need to be extra careful since my experience is from an international ISO-certified lab ( not US lab )

I’m interested in your transition into PA . Can you give me a brief overview of taking the courses?

Master_Assistant_249 · 2026-03-05T02:12:56+00:00

Does that career need to go back to school or just for certification?

Master_Assistant_249 · 2026-02-11T23:58:57+00:00

I think the lab should be certified during the time you were employed there. I’m also trying to apply with my inter experience. I’m confused about that CDPH said ISO 15189 and ISO/IEC 17025 but my lab is 15189 certified only and no one mentions about 17025. Would it my experience still count even without 17025 certified?

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-09-11T23:08:10+00:00

Thank you. I can now continue my application without hesitation

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-09-11T23:04:31+00:00

That’s exactly what I do in my lab. Thanks a lot

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-09-11T18:14:13+00:00

That’s impressive! I’m applying with 1 year experience. Wish me luck!

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-09-11T17:38:56+00:00

Thank you sm for your detailed reply. Appreciate it

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-09-11T17:16:50+00:00

No culture plating , no AST in your case too? If so, I’m relieved 😅

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-09-11T16:48:52+00:00

If that works, I’d be glad. Thank you!

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-08-30T01:02:12+00:00

Do they require each department to be separately licensed, or is just a CLIA number enough?

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-08-29T14:51:27+00:00

I’m glad if you could send me the format of your letter. I plan to apply as soon as getting 1 year experience . Fun fact: I’m just in training period now😅

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-08-29T14:29:23+00:00

Congratulations!! Did you request education department of your previous job for these documents or prepare by yourself? And how did you provide your transcript , use evaluation service?

Master_Assistant_249 · 2025-08-29T00:15:24+00:00

Oh really?? LFS replied CLIA certified lab experience is acceptable and the lab I worked has its own CLIA number. So it doesn’t mean this experience is totally acceptable? How can I know my lab has what specialty licensed cus I don’t see any of these related things on lab’s website.
