Global science and smart labs on show as analytica USA debuts in Ohio

The international trade fair analytica USA will open its doors for the first time from 10–12 September 2025 in Hall B of the Greater Columbus Convention Center, Ohio. With over 250 exhibitors from nearly 20 countries, the event is nearly sold out months in advance.

"The response has exceeded our expectations," said Susanne Grödl, Exhibition Director for analytica shows worldwide at Messe München. "Exhibitors and speakers are clearly excited about analytica USA's premiere.

Cutting-edge research at the analytica conference

Held on the first two days, the analytica conference brings together leading scientists from the US and Europe. John McLean (Vanderbilt University) will open with a plenary talk on phenomics - an emerging field combining bioanalytics, bioinformatics and AI to explore the links between genes and traits, with applications in health prediction and synthetic biology.

Other highlights include microbiome expert Nikos Kyrpides (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) on data-driven metagenomics, and air pollution researcher Ralf Zimmermann (University of Rostock), who will present new insights into particulate matter’s impact on lung cells.

Sessions will also explore advanced liquid chromatography, RNA analysis, thrombocyte profiling, multi-omics, 3D cell cultures, and microfluidics - tying closely to the innovations on show at stands from leading companies such as Bruker, Shimadzu, PerkinElmer, Thermo Fisher, Mettler Toledo, and Analytik Jena.

Digital Transformation: lab automation in action

The special show Digital Transformation offers live demos of a fully automated smart lab. At daily sessions (11:00, 13:00, and 15:00), a robotic arm from Universal Robots performs autonomous titration using the SmartLab Solutions control system. Visitors will also see an integrated cold chain workflow combining technologies from 2mag, Amensio, Liebherr, Düperthal, and iHEX.

“This unique mix of trade fair, scientific exchange, and live demonstrations delivers something for every visitor,” said Grödl. “We’re confident analytica USA will be as well received as its global counterparts.”
