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.”
