The PharmaLab 2024 conferences cover topics such as analytics, bioanalytics and microbiology. Parallel to the conferences, participants will have the opportunity to visit the accompanying trade exhibition, which offers comprehensive information on available products, services and the latest developments in the laboratory sector.

The following conferences are part of PharmaLab 2024:
