After so long apart during the coronavirus pandemic, Lab Innovations offers the UK’s laboratory industry a chance to come together and showcase their latest innovations and drive business once again. Lab Innovations, celebrating its ninth edition this year, will focus on cutting-edge digital tech that increases laboratory sustainability and effi ciency.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a big impact on workplaces, particularly for industries like food and drink labs that have had to overcome challenges like lockdowns, social distancing and increased health and safety requirements. Through trial and error, new technology and processes emerged.
At the event, attendees will be able to discover the latest lab tech, source a vast range of products under one roof and gain insight into data- driven case studies, like those from Green Light Laboratories, which demonstrate the impact of sustainable initiatives in the lab.
“The sheer volume of equipment that generates heat, containment and exhaust devices and essential uninterrupted power supplies to protect irreplaceable experiments in a lab means that a facility typically consumes fi ve times more energy and water per square foot than a standard offi ce building,” explained Andy Evans, Director of Lab Sustainability Consultancy Green Light Laboratories. “By presenting the audience at Lab Innovations with the most recent data on lab equipment sustainability, I hope to encourage lab operators to disrupt their current setup of products and processes to be more sustainable.”
Exhibitors are looking forward to launching their latest products and showcasing ground-breaking innovations at the 2021 show. Among the exhibitors are Anton Paar, Cole-Parmer, CEM Microwave Technology, IKA, NOVACYT, Eppendorf UK, VWS UK, Julabo, Sartorius, and Scientifi c Laboratory Supplies. The list also includes exciting newcomers like Mettler Toledo, Edwards Vacuum, TMQA and BMM Weston.
“I’m really looking forward to the industry getting back together, so we can’t wait for the UK’s biggest lab tech shop-window to open again in November,” commented Jaqueline Balian, Head of Laboratory Sector at Gambica. “I’m excited to see what our innovative and forward-looking industry comes up with.”
Attendees will be able to discover the latest lab tech.
“It’s an opportunity to talk to different people and see cutting edge and new stuff that’s going on in the laboratory innovations fi eld,” explained Jeremy Parker, Senior Principal Scientist at AstraZeneca. “It’s an opportunity to interact with suppliers and talk about opportunities to try new things in labs.”
Keynote speakers include Timandra Harkness, science writer, broadcaster and comedian as well as Mark Miodownik, professor of materials and society and director of institute of making at University College London. Other confi rmed speakers include Andy Evans, director of lab sustainability consultancy Green Light Laboratories, and Martin Farley, sustainable labs advisor at University College London and health schools sustainability manager at Kings College London, Richard Robinson from Agilent Technologies and many more.
“This year’s show is going to be particularly special because it will be a much-needed opportunity for the scientifi c community to network face-to-face after such a long time apart,” said Aleiya Lonsdale, Head of Marketing at Easyfairs, the organiser of Lab Innovations.
To add to the excitement, this year’s exhibition will feature a brand-new Lab Awards event. These prestigious awards highlight the key achievements of the laboratory industry, recognising the incredible work of individuals, suppliers and projects, and will be handed out in the show’s VIP lounge, sponsored by Analytix, on 3 November.
Lab Innovations is taking extra health and safety precautions this year to ensure attendees can experience the event, attend the conference sessions and see the latest products and innovations in a safe environment. These include requiring proof of double vaccination or a negative lateral fl ow test to gain entry to the show, increased cleaning procedures using hospital-grade disinfectants and making hand sanitisers readily available both on the exhibition fl oor and in conference theatres.
Lab Innovations offers a range of show features, networking events and free-to-attend conferences to maximise your time out of the lab.
