Zanda Zondi: Every Lab Teaches You Something New if You’re Willing to See It

Zanda Zondi, Medical Laboratory Scientist at Ampath Laboratories, shared on LinkedIn:

“Smaller lab. Different analysers. New ways of thinking.

Working at another Ampath site the past weekend reminded me why cross-site exposure matters. The instruments were the same, but the workflow wasn’t.

I got exposed to their BFT analyser for coagulation, watching their incubation steps and manual timing system was a good reminder that not every lab uses the same setup. The principles stay the same but the execution varies.

What stood out most was the mindset. Seeing how much the team understands their allowable error limits, how they use manual checks even when automation exists and how they adapt their QC cycle to their workload. This challenged me in a good way.

I realised how important it is to not shy away from helping sister labs, ask questions and refuse to become “bench blind.”
Every lab teaches you something new if you’re willing to see it.”
