München Analytica China 2016 was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center on October 10, 2016. It lasted for 3 days (October 10 - 12). This exhibition set up four theme exhibition areas, including Life Sciences, Biotechnology and Diagnostics, Analysis and Quality Control, Laboratory Equipment and Technology and Food Safety Equipment and Technology, with a total area of 35,000 m2. It specially established four technology zones: Biotechnology Services, Rapid Detection, Third party Testing and Laboratory Construction.
In recent years, the scientific instrument market in China has made steady growth thanks to the increasing demand from the pharmacy, biotechnology, environment and food industries. According to Statistics, in 2015, the global spectroscopy market valued $13.5 billion USD and is expected to reach $15.6 billion USD by 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 2.9%. In the next five years, the Asian market, including China, is expected to register the fastest growth in the world.
Quality control is vital important not only to the bioresearch but to various industries, especially food industry. BioMérieux Industry promoted GENE-UP brand new rapid detection system of molecular platform on pathogenic microorganisms. The exhibition hall of ThermoFisher adopted the concept of a museum, representing historical big events of the enterprise in a simple and profound way, and showing the instrument which assisted solve “Silver Case”. Agilent promoted Agilent Intuvo 9000 gas chromatography system. This innovative solution makes complex GC technology simple and easy to apply, no longer requires rapid connect technology related to sealing washers, and prolongs the chip guard column technology related to chromatographic column’s life. Leading enterprises in the instrument field including Merck, Hair, Shanghai Biotechnology Corporation and PerkinElmer attended this exhibition.
