analytica 2026 – World's leading Trade Fair showcases the Laboratory of tomorrow

28 Jan, 2026

The world's largest and most successful Trade Fair for Laboratory Technology, Analysis and Biotechnology, analytica takes place from March 24th to 27th, 2026 in Munich. Presenting pioneering solutions and brand-new concepts for all disciplines of analysis and the smart laboratory, analytica sets important impetus for future trends in the lab.

Trendsetter analytica

As an innovation hub for analysis technology, analytica 2026 presents the latest developments and products from international market leaders. Three major trends are emerging at the next analytica trade fair: AI-supported laboratory automation, digitalisation, and the important topic of sustainability.

Laboratory automation improves the quality of laboratory work in research and routine practice, making it more efficient, safer, and more sustainable. Furthermore, analytica reflects digitalisation in the analysis technology and provides important impetus for future developments in digital transformation. Intelligent analytical instruments and smart laboratory technology will be presented in Munich. With analytica, the laboratory world is becoming greener. Learn how sustainability in the laboratory can be significantly increased with energy-efficient equipment, automated laboratory processes for biological and chemical analysis, and environmentally friendly chemicals.

Insights into the future of analysis

In Munich, innovative developments and the latest devices in chromatography, spectrometry, and hyphenated techniques for all application fields in analysis are exhibited.
 

The global players of the lab industry meet at analytica in Munich. This is the only place where you can find such a high concentration of market leaders, scientists, and experts. More than 1,000 exhibitors will be on site, showcasing the latest methods and solutions for the analytical lab.

The newest sample preparation techniques, modern HPLC, GC, HPLC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS methods, data analysis software, and data evaluation will be presented. Experts will share practical insights into the latest techniques to support sensitive, solvent-free sample preparation and innovative methods for modern workflows across a wide range of applications. Learn how to select the most appropriate methods for different sample types and analyte ranges. Find out how you can simplify sample preparation, improve analytical performance, and increase the quality of your results. Gain practical insights into effective, robust, and reproducible GC-MS/MS-, LC-MS and HPLC-MS/MS results. Selecting optimal detectors and chromatographic methods, avoiding baseline drift and improving sensitivity are crucial for obtaining best results. 

At analytica, experts demonstrate how you can reduce sample preparation time and avoid toxic solvents. They explain how chromatographic parameters like gradient slope, pore size, and flow rate influence performance and how you can improve sensitivity.

Experience how to detect PFAS in food, water, and in your body. Learn more about pesticides and trace contaminant analysis. Find out more about food analysis and food fraud.

Gain insights into oligonucleotide characterisation, drug discovery, and pharmaceutical regulatory implications. Professionals exhibit recent innovations for the biological and clinical lab, for health and medicine such as biomarkers, enzymes, PCR-based methods, and stem cells techniques.

Unique show concept at analytica 2026

In the exhibition and in different shows, the benefits for lab users are demonstrated with practical examples.

analytica offers three exclusive special shows alongside the exhibition: Live Lab, Digital Transformation, and the Lab Safety Show with real live experiments in analysis and laboratory technology. Live experiments are carried out by experts in specially developed laboratories at the fair.

Understanding how to stay safe is crucial for your everyday work in the lab. Live demonstrations provide practical advice and actionable tips to help you implement the best safety practices. Learn about the latest regulations and guidelines, best practices, sharpen your risk awareness, and discover how to prevent accidents before they happen.

In addition, you can also look forward to presentations and discussions on current trends in analysis, laboratory techniques and biotechnology at Forum Biotech and Forum Laboratory & Analysis. Take a step into the future of next-generation technologies!

This practice-oriented and unique supporting programme is included with your visitor ticket – no extra cost, just extra value and fun!
