Xpeditions

An X-pedition is an interactive trade fair tour where visitors follow a route past a number of exhibitors to gain targeted knowledge about a specific theme. For participating companies, the primary goal of an X-pedition is to generate extra traffic to the stand. For the upcoming edition, the themes Safety, Sustainability, and Sample Management are on the program.

World of Laboratory Program

X-pedition Safety

The X-pedition Safety offers an interactive experience aimed at improving workplace safety in laboratories, with a focus on the latest developments and practical solutions.

  • Safe handling of hazardous substances: Correct storage, waste disposal, the use of personal protective equipment, and compliance with legislation are essential for a safe laboratory environment. The Habeo+ Safety Officer training helps with this.
  • Optimizing microbiological safety: Temperature control and monitoring in incubators are crucial to prevent unwanted growth and spread of pathogens, guaranteeing a safe microbiological chain.
  • Safety at biosafety cabinets: The correct selection of biosafety cabinets, tailored to the application and compliant with European standards, is important for protection when working with viruses and cytostatics. Safety is a continuous process.
  • Safety regarding hazardous waste and battery use: Correct collection of hazardous waste protects people and the environment, while sustainable solutions promote energy efficiency. In addition, knowledge of lithium battery risks is essential to prevent incidents and ensure safe storage.

X-pedition durability

More and more laboratories are committing to sustainability, and there are numerous initiatives: from reusable pipette tips to energy conservation. But to make truly significant strides, you need the entire chain. That is why exhibitors at the World of Laboratory present the latest sustainable solutions for your laboratory. During the Sustainability X-pedition, you will take a tour of five participating companies, and through interactive demos, you will gain practical insight into the latest innovations and find inspiration to get started yourself. The X-peditions can be followed every day of the exhibition week.

Five companies share their expertise and practical tips to immediately become more sustainable in various aspects of the lab process.

  • Innovative recycling of chemical waste: Actu-All is developing a method to recycle chemical waste and recover valuable raw materials, which prevents waste and contributes to a circular economy.
  • Sustainable choices throughout the lab chain: Boom helps laboratories make impactful sustainable choices, such as selecting environmentally friendly products, reducing waste, more efficient logistics, and conscious use by employees.
  • Energy-efficient storage and reuse of equipment: Elscolab demonstrates how energy-efficient ULT freezers extend the lifespan of samples and save energy, while LabMakelaar emphasizes the importance of extending the lifecycle of equipment and furniture as sustainable strategies.
