Supporting program reflects current demands of the industry
This year, the show came up with a new Lab Planning and Construction area which presented the entire lab ecology on the site. Besides this, China International Lab Planning, Construction and Management Conference took place alongside analytica China, featuring expert opinions on lab design and planning, lab standards construction, lab safety and management, smart lab, etc.

Moreover, spotlighting lab planning, lab construction and smart lab technology, analytica China 2018 launched a Food Safety Live Lab, a Pharmaceutical Live Lab and Pluralistic Modular Laboratory. The Live Labs integrated frontier knowledge in lab planning, equipment, instruments, operations, methods, optimal workflow, safety, automation, and the application of information technology.

The congress will put a spotlight on laboratory plan, laboratory construction, smart laboratory and other related topics. By focusing on scientific and technology ecological systems as well as the whole laboratory life cycle, labtech China Congress 2019 will strive to lead the development of the future smart laboratory.

Meanwhile, the show offered eight theme tours, covering the whole value chain of the laboratory industry. The theme tours reach from Pesticide and Animal Drug Residue and Heavy Metal Testing, to Lab Construction and Safety.

Hot topics and industry trends in analytica China conferences
analytica China 2018 offered many highlights in the conferences such as the Shanghai International Symposium on Analytical Chemistry, China International Food Industry Development Forum/Shanghai Sino-EU International Forum on Food Safety, LSAC Life Science & Biotech Forum, the Food Safety Quick Testing Technology and Development Forum, China Int'l Congress on Laboratory Planning, Construction and Management, and 2018 Environmental Monitoring and Analysis Technology Forum.
