18 MARCH 2026
LEVEL 1, ROOM C
9:15 – 10:45
Workshop: Microbiological cleanliness in the laboratory – how to avoid mistakes in designing, equipping, servicing, validating and operating clean zones?
Piotr Caban, Jerzy Kustra – Cleanproject sp. z o.o. sp. k.
Microbiological cleanliness in laboratories begins already at the design and equipment stage. During the workshop we will demonstrate how to avoid common mistakes that may lead to contamination, audit problems and additional costs.
Topics include:
• construction of clean zones: pressure zones, HVAC, ISO vs. GMP differences
• clothing and personnel procedures in contamination control – aseptic gowning, entry/exit procedures
• servicing, validation and infrastructure maintenance
• selected GMP and WFI requirements and aspects of sterile production, radiopharmacy and ATMP in modern cleanrooms
• typical design, construction and operational errors in cleanrooms
The workshop will present practical ways to ensure safe and efficient operation of clean zones.
11:00 – 11:45
Confocal Microscopy in Practice – Methods and Applications – ITS SCIENCE
The lecture will present 3D microscopic imaging methods and techniques used in confocal microscopy. The principle of operation of a confocal microscope, data acquisition and 3D image reconstruction will be discussed. Basic applications in biological and biomedical research will also be presented, including the interpretation and quality of obtained results.
Speaker:
Dr. Krzysztof Borkowski
Former academic researcher and lecturer, imaging systems specialist at Olympus Polska and Evident Scientific, currently Imaging Systems Sales Specialist at ITS SCIENCE.
12:00 – 12:45
How Automation and Robots Truly Increase Laboratory Efficiency – Solution4Labs
Mateusz Kirzyński – Business Development Manager
The presentation will demonstrate how laboratory efficiency can increase through automation and the use of robotics. Participants will learn about typical manual workflow bottlenecks, common myths about robotization and areas that can already be automated today. The lecture will also explain how cobots, mobile robots and intelligent transport systems increase throughput, reduce errors and enable 24/7 operations.
13:00 – 13:45
Precise Particle Analysis: From Size Distribution to Particle Count. Light Diffraction and the Coulter Method – ITS SCIENCE
The lecture will compare two complementary particle analysis techniques: laser diffraction and the Coulter impedance method. Using real sample examples, the presentation will discuss the principles of operation of both analyzers, measurement processes and interpretation of results.
Speakers:
Przemysław Pestka – Particle Size and Count Analysis Specialist, CEO of ITS SCIENCE
Karolina Wabik – Application Specialist, ITS SCIENCE
14:00 – 14:45
How ML and LIMS Influence the Taste of Wine – Solution4Labs
Adam Olczak – LIMS Consultant
The presentation will show how combining machine learning with LIMS systems influences wine production—from raw material quality control through fermentation monitoring to predicting the flavor profile of the final product.
