analytica 2026 – Insights into the Future Lab

analytica 2026, the world's largest and most successful Trade Fair for Analysis, Laboratory Technology, and Biotechnology, takes place from March 24th to 27th, 2026 in Munich. analytica sets important impulses for future trends in the lab and showcases the latest solutions for the smart laboratory of tomorrow. 

International hub for analytics and laboratory

In Munich, the world of analytical technology meets to showcase the latest developments in equipment and methods from international market leaders. Three major trends are emerging at the next analytica: AI-supported laboratory automation, digitalisation, and sustainability.

analytica reflects the entire value chain of analytics, from sample preparation and new method development to evaluation and data storage. Gain practical strategies to improve laboratory operations through automation. Explore high-throughput processing best practices to obtain reproducible and safe results. International opinion leaders present solutions to simplify sample preparation and to improve analytical performance.

Explore GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS methods to accelerate analysis and to minimise background carryover. At analytica, experts will present future-proof solutions for bioanalysis, diagnostics, the analysis of pharmaceuticals, antibodies, peptides and proteins, biomarker analysis, quantitation of large molecules and cell culture analysis.

It is unique that analytica covers the whole field of analytical applications from clinical areas, through food, environmental and trace analysis and material testing and polymers to a wide variety of industrial applications. At analytica, discuss your laboratory problems with specialists and find out how to overcome technical hurdles of critical applications to work out solutions to your questions.

Discover spectrometric methods that enable efficient and precise quality control with high throughput rates, thereby shortening batch release testing. Find out more about ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and AAS for your needs, your workflow and about best practices in your lab.

The lab industry's global players meet at analytica in Munich. This is the only place where you can find such a high concentration of market leaders, scientists and experts. In the exhibition and at different shows the benefits for lab users are demonstrated with practical examples.
