which is “From practice—For practice,” invites visitors to attend lectures and reports based on actual experience on all four days of the fair. As a permanent fixture in several industries such as the food industry, forensics, and the pharma industry, biotechnology calls for the use of specific applications and techniques. The forum program examines the latest issues in actual practice, which can then be discussed with experts.

START-UPS IN THE LIMELIGHT. The
Conference on the first three days of the fair will allow experts from around the world to discuss the latest methods and techniques at a scientific level. The application-oriented conference gives participants an overview of the latest scientific developments and examines their potential uses in industry. For example, the 2012 conference revolves around calibration in the analysis of direct solids and nanoparticles. All in all, the analytica Conference covers a wide range of topics, from high-science topics such as genomics to application fields in information processing such as chemo- and bioinformatics. Besides the presentation of innovations, interaction between theory and practice plays an important role. In half-day symposia, more than 100 leading international scientists will report on the latest topics and explain what modern methods are capable of, where they can be used, and what their limits are. The extensive program of events gives each visitor an opportunity to take home the latest news about their specific area of expertise. The analytica Conference is organized by Forum Analytik, an organization that comprises three leading German trade associations, i.e. the German Chemical Society (GDCh), the Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (GBM) and the German Society for Clinical Chemistry & Laboratory Medicine (DGKL).
“Made in Germany” joint exhibits in Halls B2 and A3 will allow new German companies to present their products, innovations, services, and business ideas. This is the third time in a row that analytica is supporting the initiative of Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economics & Technology. In doing so, it gives new companies a chance to present themselves to an audience of international professionals. As of the beginning of the year, 14 companies had submitted their applications. They include the biotechnology company new diagnostics, which develops bioanalysis test systems for environmental and food analysis and clinical diagnostics. The Hamburg-based startup PAS-Analytik, which will introduce its innovative gas analyzers, is also participating. Its products are based on a specific measuring technique whose principle makes extremely high detection sensitivity and selectivity possible. Other exhibitors at the “Made in Germany” joint stand are Büro Analytik, Dr. Dietmar Glindemann, Dr.Licht, InSCREENeX, ImageInterpret,
