From April 22 to April 24, 2026, the 24th International Exhibition of Laboratory Equipment and Chemical Reagents Analitika Expo 2026 was held at the Crocus Expo IEC
This year, the exhibition has traditionally been a clear reflection of how the market is changing. The exposition, the composition of the participants and the content of the scientific and business program showed that the laboratory industry in Russia is moving from the stage of adaptation to the stage of systemic development, with the strengthening of local supply, the growth of service infrastructure and the expansion of the range of available solutions.
This is confirmed by the quantitative results of the exhibition: Analitika Expo 2026 was attended by 6,386 specialists from 75 regions of the Russian Federation and 15 countries of the world. More than 200 companies took part in the exhibition, including: A1 PROLAB, Biobase, DLAB, Elcon Drugs, HUIDA, Jet Bio Filtration, Kemolabs, NINGBO SCIENTZ, RUNWANGDA, Simple PRO, Simson Pharma, Stormoff, Tarsons Products, VIKING Lab (Dipole), WESTINGAREA, WIGGENS, Xilong, Aurora, GTZ Gene Health Technologies, Lumex Group, IMC Group, Diaem, KR-Analytics, LaMO, MILLAB, Roskhimreaktiv, SKB Chromatek, Pharmservice, ChemMed, ECROSKHIM and other companies.
One of the key results of Analytica Expo 2026 was the confirmation that the laboratory market is not limited to replacing individual companies, it is building a new architecture of offers and partnerships.
The exhibition presented a wide range of equipment, materials and service solutions, which shows that the industry has found answers to the challenges of recent years and has formed new growth points. The role of Russian manufacturers, as well as companies that are strengthening their positions in the field of engineering support, localization of technologies and comprehensive equipment of laboratories, has become especially noticeable.
An equally important area was the development of service support. In 2026, the market demand for further equipment maintenance, repair, implementation and technical support was especially clear. This means that it is not a single purchase that is increasingly important for laboratories, but the sustainability of the entire working infrastructure.
At the center of the exposition was a wider range of solutions for a modern laboratory environment: analytical systems, measuring equipment, chemical reagents, laboratory furniture, consumables, automation, biotechnology and environmental monitoring.
For a professional audience, this meant the opportunity to see how the market as a whole is developing today: what solutions are available, which technological areas are being strengthened, and which segments are developing most actively.
A number of exhibitors presented specific solutions at the exhibition that reflect the directions of market development.
Algimed Group of Companies and Algimed Techno presented the ALMASS Bio system for mass spectrometry analysis, designed for species identification of microorganisms based on MALDI-TOF. In addition, the exposition showed reagents for flow cytometry, nucleic acid isolation kits and TAL reagents.
ECOS-1 Group of Companies presented high-purity chemical reagents, analytical solutions and standard samples. The company was also recognized as part of the competition program of the exhibition in the nomination related to ensuring high accuracy of measurements.
Himmed Holding presented the Atomics gas tandem chromatography-mass spectrometer, as well as HPLC columns of its own production under the same brand.
Alfa-Lab used the exhibition as a platform to present a new area of activity related to the supply of chemical reagents.
The content of the exhibition confirmed that the laboratory industry is increasingly discussing systemic issues of laboratory work.
The scientific and business program focuses on the development of laboratory practice, the introduction of technologies and professional discussion on industry issues. The program was held at the Lecture Hall and SMARTLAB FORUM and brought together more than 20 events with the participation of more than 100 specialized speakers.
Among the key topics are the development of a modern analytical laboratory in the face of growing requirements for the quality, efficiency and reliability of results, as well as issues of metrological support, quality management, personnel training and digitalization of processes.
Among the speakers of the events were representatives of Rosaccreditation, Roskachestvo, Rosstandart, the Russian Export Center, the Digital Economy Development Fund, the Roskhimreaktiv Association, the Scientific Council for Analytical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the AAC Analitika, the Central Committee Znanie, SIBUR-Innovations, Lomonosov Moscow State University, the D.I. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia, the pharmaceutical companies R-Pharm, Pharmasyntez, Greenvan, the V.M. Gorbatov Federal Scientific Center for Food Systems, the Moscow Research Center MSI, the Competence and Quality Association, Accreditation Center "Standard", Training Center "Assistance" and many other organizations.
