• Sampling and sample preparation
• Microbiological work and microscopy: e.g., isolating and identifying microorganisms, applying inoculation and culture techniques
• Cell culture work, i.e., how to cultivate plant and animal cells for long-term experiments
• Molecular biology and genetic engineering work: e.g., isolating DNA and detecting it by electrophoresis or performing polymerase chain reactions (PCR)
• Biochemical work: e.g., gel electrophoresis and chromatography
• Animal experimentation: e.g., applications, preparations, and keeping of laboratory animals in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act (TierSchG)

Berlin: “Analytics” is part of the institute's name at this location. Therefore, you will frequently detect pesticides, fragrances, or ingredients using chromatographic methods. You will also learn how to handle laboratory animals. You will gain insights into all departments at this location, from plant analytics to stock protection to soil organisms. We look forward to seeing you!

Braunschweig: Microbial and molecular biology work is just as much a focus as chemical digestion methods for feed testing and instrumental elemental analysis for soil testing. We look forward to your support!

Dossenheim: Here, you will help care for insect pests (but also beneficial insects) for experiments in the laboratory, climate chamber, greenhouse, and on the experimental field. One of the site's specialties is working with attractants.
