Industry's Major International Players Choose analytica

The international trade fair for the global analysis, laboratory technology and biotechnology industry takes place in Munich for the 24th time from April 1 – 4, 2013, and companies are coming. So far, 714 exhibitors have registered for analytica (Germany), compared to 664 exhibitors in 2011. That is an increase of 7.5 percent.

Laboratory-equipment suppliers Hirschmann, Köttermann and Waldner are just some of the industry's key players that will be at the fair next April. Susanne Grödl, Exhibition Director of analytica, is familiar with the fair's strengths: "The presence of major manufacturers and suppliers of laboratory equipment alone proves that analytica is number one in the industry." Other companies that have registered to date include Analytik Jena, Becton Dickinson, Eppendorf, Fisher Scientific, GE Healthcare, Merck Millipore, Miele, Olympus Deutschland, Shimadzu Deutschland, Sigma and Waters. Countries planning large joint
exhibition stands currently include China, France, Great Britain and Spain.

Hall A3, which is analytica's gathering for the biotech and diagnostics industry, will also have two new regions: Berlin and "Biosaxony". The latest high-quality equipment solutions are in great demand, especially among representatives of the pharmaceutical research sector. In 2012, some 6,706 visitors came from this branch of industry. Above all, they profit from the complete market overview and marketable products. The analytica Conference, the leading international conference for the scientific elite, also features lectures on topics related chemistry, biochemistry and laboratory medicine. The Biotech Forum gives scientists and industry representatives as well as routine analysts and engineers practical tips and inspiration for their everyday laboratory work.

An initial overview of all the companies that have registered for the fair is available in the online Exhibitor Database. Photographic material from the last exhibition is available in the Media Database.
