Ilmac 2024
Platform for Chemistry, Pharmacy and Biotechnology
September 18-19, 2024, Beaulieu Lausanne, www.ilmac.ch
Ilmac has its origins in the Swiss trade fair for international laboratory, measurement and automation technology in chemistry, which has been held since 1959. Today, the chemistry and life science brand networks the industry both physically and digitally.
With its value proposition “Inspiring the Future of Chemistry and Life Sciences”, it encourages the development of new ideas and solutions and presents trends and innovations from research and industry.
Every two years, the Ilmac industry event at the important Lausanne site is the largest meeting place for the chemical and life science industry in French-speaking Switzerland.
The SCS, as the initial founder of the fair, is partnering with Messe Schweiz and coordinates the collaboration with society partners and the Universities of Applies Sciences. The SCS and its partners are the organizers of the Ilmac Conference.

Ilmac Conference, Day 1: «Latest Advances in Non-targeted Analysis»
As part of Ilmac Lausanne, the symposium offers insights into non-targeted methods in the analytical sciences and their specific applications in food chemistry.
Non-target-screening has developed in recent years from research into a promising method with a wide range of applications in analytical sciences. In the morning session renowned experts show latest advances of these methods in material science, laboratory medicine, water and agricultural research. The afternoon session will focus on specific applications in food chemistry, such as general spectra interpretation, non-target and semi-non-target contaminant search like PFAS. The symposium is intended for participants from academia, expert laboratories and industry.
