analytica Munich is one of the world's most important events for laboratory technology, analysis, and biotechnology. For over five decades, it has been bringing together leading minds from research, industry, and development, offering a unique platform for products, processes, and visions related to modern laboratory and measurement technology. Every two years, the Munich Exhibition Center is transformed into a global center for scientific excellence and technological innovation. Whether chemical analysis, food testing, environmental analysis, pharmaceutical research, or clinical diagnostics—analytica covers all areas of applied and research-related laboratory technology.
With over 1,000 exhibitors from around 40 countries, analytica is an international showcase for technical developments along the entire value chain: from sample preparation, measuring instruments, and laboratory data management to automation and artificial intelligence. The high density of innovation is particularly noteworthy. Many market leaders present their latest generations of devices, sensor solutions, software tools, or platform technologies for use in research and production for the first time at analytica. But young companies and start-ups also use the trade fair to present their disruptive ideas and services.
One of the highlights of analytica is the practical nature of the exhibition: many suppliers showcase their devices in live operation, give demonstrations, or allow trade visitors to participate directly in application scenarios. This allows solutions to be evaluated in realistic contexts and technical questions to be discussed on site. In the “Live Lab,” for example, current topics such as automation, digitalization, and sustainability in everyday laboratory work are demonstrated—with devices, software, and workflows that interact with each other. Anyone interested in other trade fairs in Munich—from medical technology to Industry 4.0—will find a comprehensive overview of the region's wide range of events at Munich Trade Fair.
The analytica conference, a scientific congress of the highest caliber, will take place parallel to the exhibition. Here, renowned researchers will present the latest findings in chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, materials research, and related disciplines. Topics of discussion include new analytical methods, regulatory developments, sustainability in laboratory practice, and AI-supported data analysis. The combination of theory and practice, basic research and application, makes the congress an indispensable part of analytica.
Biotechnology is a constantly growing field. analytica forms the interface between biomedical research, diagnostics, pharmaceutical development, and bioinformatics. Topics such as genomics, proteomics, cell-based assays, and personalized medicine are covered comprehensively in lectures, special shows, and product exhibitions. This shows that the interlinking of laboratory analysis, big data, and clinical application opens up completely new avenues for diagnostics, therapy, and production processes.
Digitalization has long been a reality in laboratories—and one of the core topics at analytica. Automated workflows, cloud-based laboratory data management systems, smart devices, and robotics enable a new dimension of efficiency, traceability, and data security. At the trade fair, visitors can experience entire digital laboratory landscapes – including virtual modeling, remote control, predictive maintenance, and AI-supported analysis. Cybersecurity in the laboratory is also becoming an increasingly important topic.
The demand for sustainable laboratory technology is growing. analytica is responding with a clear focus on “green lab” solutions: energy-saving devices, recyclable consumables, environmentally friendly reagents, and resource-saving processes will be specifically presented and discussed. Special exhibitions and themed tours offer guidance for anyone who wants to make their laboratory more sustainable and future-proof.
analytica is aimed at a broad, highly qualified specialist audience: chemists, biotechnologists, laboratory managers, doctors, pharmacists, quality managers, environmental engineers, food chemists, medical technicians, government officials, and many more. Interdisciplinarity is one of the trade fair's great strengths—as is its international focus.
analytica Munich is more than just a product show. It is a platform for dialogue, a driver of innovation, and a strategic marketplace for an industry characterized by scientific depth, technical excellence, and social relevance. Anyone who wants to know how modern laboratories work, research, and think will find answers, contacts, and perspectives here.
