The programme of the fair 2026
The programme of the Labs Expo 2026
18 MARCH 2026
LEVEL 1, ROOM C
9:15 – 10:45
Workshop: Microbiological cleanliness in the laboratory – how to avoid mistakes in the design, equipment, servicing, validation and operation of clean zones? – Cleanproject sp. z o.o. sp. k.
11:00 – 11:45
“Confocal Microscopy in Practice – Methods and Applications” – ITS SCIENCE
The lecture will discuss 3D microscopic imaging methods and techniques used in confocal microscopy. The operating principles of a confocal microscope, data acquisition process, and 3D image reconstruction will be presented. Basic applications of confocal microscopy in biological and biomedical research will also be discussed, including quality assessment and interpretation of results.
Dr. Krzysztof Borkowski
Long-standing researcher and academic 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 Robotics Truly Increase Laboratory Efficiency – Solution4Labs
Mateusz Kirzyński, Business Development Manager, Solution4Labs
This presentation will demonstrate how laboratory efficiency increases through process automation and robotics. Participants will learn about common bottlenecks in manual workflows, myths about robotization, and areas that can be automated today. The session will explain how cobots, mobile robots and intelligent transport systems increase throughput, reduce errors, and enable 24/7 operation without overburdening staff. We will also show how software becomes the “brain” of a SmartLab and the steps from implementing a single robot to building a fully integrated laboratory.
13:00 – 13:45
“Precise Particle Analysis: From Size Distribution to Particle Count. Light Diffraction and the Impedance Method” – ITS SCIENCE
The lecture will compare two complementary particle analysis techniques: laser diffraction and the Coulter method. Using real sample examples, the operating principles of both analyzers, measurement procedures, and interpretation of results will be presented. Data quality, measurement accuracy and resolution, and the impact of instrumental parameters—such as the number of detectors or wavelength range—on data detail will be discussed.
The high resolution and sensitivity of laser diffraction to changes in particle size distribution will be highlighted. The Coulter method enables direct measurement of particle volume, number, and size distribution, providing information unavailable in optical analysis.
Speakers:
Przemysław Pestka – President of ITS SCIENCE, specialist in particle size and count analysis
Karolina Wabik – Application Specialist, ITS SCIENCE
14:00 – 14:45
How Do ML and LIMS Influence the Taste of Wine? – Solution4Labs
Adam Olczak, LIMS Consultant, Solution4Labs
This presentation will show how combining machine learning and LIMS impacts wine production—from raw material quality control and fermentation monitoring to predicting the final flavor profile. Participants will see how multi-stage data analysis supports technological decision-making, reduces errors, and ensures consistent high-quality wine tailored to market expectations.
