analytica 2026 is now behind us, and we are taking home the message we developed for the event, along with the positive feedback: the laboratory as an isolated workplace is a thing of the past. What we showcased at the trade fair in Munich is a laboratory that is already ready for use today, connected, transparent and efficient.

As a laboratory equipment manufacturer, we deliberately designed our stand to be a living example. Not merely as a showroom for individual products, but as a real-world application scenario in which infrastructure, equipment and data are conceived as an integrated whole.

Laboratory infrastructure is about more than just furniture. Fume cupboards, work surfaces and utility supplies form the foundation. When these elements work in tandem with equipment, software systems and safety technology, they create real added value. That was precisely our approach at analytica.

We had three strong partners at our stand who brought this concept to life:

• Siemens demonstrated how a laboratory’s status can be visualised digitally – from energy data for individual devices and sample tracking in the LIMS to room control via the Smart Room Operator. Siemens also provides an integrated solution for safety: the Sinorix al-deco extinguishing system automatically detects fires in the laboratory fume cupboard and combats them directly at the source – without manual intervention and with minimal damage. The result of the complete package: less loss of information, faster processes, clear documentation – and maximum safety.
• C. Gerhardt integrated the VAPODEST 500 – an automated distillation system – directly into our laboratory fume cupboard. Connected to the Siemens system, samples were digitally recorded, tracked and analysed. An example from real-world laboratory practice: fewer manual steps, full traceability.
• Liebherr Professional Appliances complemented the setup with an under-counter laboratory refrigerator, integrated directly into the Köttermann laboratory workstation – monitored via Siemens technology, with precise temperature control and automatic alerts. Cooling, storage and monitoring, without any disruption.

Anyone planning or modernising a laboratory today stands to benefit from precisely this approach: when infrastructure, equipment and data systems are coordinated from the outset, the result is not a collection of isolated solutions – but a system that grows, documents and protects.
As a manufacturer of laboratory infrastructure, we see it as our mission to create this platform. To find and integrate the right partners. And to offer solutions that really work in day-to-day laboratory operations.
