Tentamus Life – a Day of Alessa Neumann at lifeprint GmbH Alessa Neumann, 21 years, Agricultural Technical Assistant (ATA): “In the morning there is a laboratory meeting at which the daily work will be divided among the laboratory staff. Today I am responsible for the PCR. First I make sure which samples are dated for today. If not all are ground, homogenized and extracted yet, this has to be done first. Thereafter, the detection of the analysis parameter by real-time PCR is carried out. Then I evaluate the run according to strict quality controls, whereupon I transmit and review the results. The assessment is done differently depending on the matrix and the customer. In addition, I take care to build alongside the new LIMS as well as other IT issues within the company.” Other Newsletters in our Group Stay on top of current developments in our Group’s laboratories by subscribing to their individual newsletters.
