First Analytica Lab Africa Held in South Africa
The first Analytica Lab Africa took place this July at the Gallagher Convention Center in Johannesburg with 148 exhibitors from 15 countries presenting their products and solutions for the African market.
The first Analytica Lab Africa took place this July at the Gallagher Convention Center in Johannesburg with 148 exhibitors from 15 countries presenting their products and solutions for the African market.
“The past three days have shown that there is a high market demand for the technology and know-how we bring together at Analytica Lab Africa. Exhibitor and visitor expectations were exceeded. The exhibitors noted the high quality of visitors to their stands, especially from market end-users,” said Reinhard Pfeiffer, Deputy CEO of Messe München.
Analytica Lab Africa emerged from Lab Africa following their acquisition in 2017 by Messe München, known for their biannual Analytica trade fair. The acquisition of Lab Africa allowed the company to expand their regional trade fairs to include at least one on the Africa continent.
“Analytica Lab Africa is reaching European standards of excellence. We have seen more customers than expected and the quality of visitors has been very good,” said Nikolai von Knauer, General Manager of Sartorius, South Africa.
Following the success of the event, Messe München plan to continue the series with the next event to be held from
13–15 July 2021, at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

Inside the Laboratory: The Richardson Group at the University of South Carolina
November 20th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Susan Richardson of the University of South Carolina discusses her laboratory’s work with using electron ionization and chemical ionization with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to detect DBPs in complex environmental matrices, and how her work advances environmental analysis.
AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
