The interviewer will ask situation-based questions to test your knowledge and how you explain your process to others. This question confirms that you know common lab terminology, as you should know what an aliquot is. Also, it provides the interviewer with a sense of how you perform everyday laboratory tasks. As with any situation-based questions, clearly outline your process so you do not skip around and appear disorganized.

"When obtaining aliquots of RNA, I get a bucket of ice to thaw RNA samples, then working in the proper RNA designated location, I would pipette 15ul aliquots per 5 samples into five different tubes for a total of 25 samples. Finally, I'd deliver either on ice if taking over immediately or in a box of dry ice."
