Antimicrobial resistance: backgrounds and innovations in diagnostics
The use of antibiotics is a global norm. However, it is becoming increasingly common for bacteria to develop resistance to these drugs, rendering them ineffective. This makes treating infections more difficult, leading to illness, death, and higher healthcare costs. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest global threats, with five million people dying each year, directly or indirectly, due to AMR. This number is expected to rise to ten million deaths per year by 2050. During the seminar on Antimicrobial Resistance, three experts will provide insights into the backgrounds and innovations in diagnostics. Learn more about the seminar or read the interview with Maarten van Dongen from AMR Insights.
Discover the Future of Laboratory Analysis
Laboratories are digitalizing at a rapid pace. Measuring equipment is becoming more compact, and with the advent of cloud-based work, we are witnessing a shift from in-lab analysis to on-site analysis. During the “Out of the Lab” seminar at the World of Industry, Technology & Science trade fair, we will explore the developments and application areas of mobile analysis methods.
X-pedition Safety: How Safe is Your Work?
Everyone knows how important it is to work safely in the lab. But are you up to date with the latest developments and solutions for safer working practices? The X-pedition is an interactive tour across the exhibition floor, guiding you to six specialists. You’ll learn practical tips on topics such as harmful noise in laboratories, safely disposing of toxic and infectious waste, and identifying hazardous situations in the workplace. At each station, you’ll be asked a question. After completing the X-pedition, you’ll receive a gift and a certificate. The X-peditions can be followed every day during the exhibition week.
Nominees for the High Tech Trophy Announced
The World of Industry, Technology & Science trade fair is the place to discover new innovations. The most innovative products and services are competing for the High Tech Trophy, the coveted award for technological innovations. A professional jury has reviewed all submissions and selected four nominees. These nominees will be featured in the High Tech Trophy gallery on the exhibition floor, where you get to decide who wins by casting your vote. Voting is open from September 24 to 26 during your visit to the fair.
