As we continue to peruse the halls of Forum Labo Paris, here are a few noteworthy products from the fair in the categories of consumables and scientific instrumentation.
Forum Labo Paris 2025 is in full swing at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, gathering over 10,000 visitors and 330 exhibitors from the world of research and laboratory sciences. This leading event in the laboratory sector hosts cutting-edge products and technologies across various categories, from consumables to scientific instrumentation. Among the prominent exhibitors are Cytiva, Merck Life Science KGaA, and Sartorius France, each presenting innovative solutions aimed at advancing laboratory workflows and efficiency.
Cytiva is showcasing its Protein Select resin, a laboratory consumable designed to enhance protein purification processes, as well as its Biacore™ Insight 6.0 software. The Biacore, under the scientific instrumentation category, offers new insights for biomolecular analysis. Merck Life Science KGaA is exhibiting with the TLC Explorer, a powerful scientific tool for chromatography the company first introduced last year. Another takeaway, Sartorius France is introducing the Nanowell 3D Incucyte® assay plate, a consumable for advanced 3D cell culture and organoid testing, positioning itself as a leader in consumables for complex biological experiments.
Here’s what we spotted in the laboratory consumables and scientific instrumentation categories.
Laboratory Consumables to Improve Lab Research
Laboratory consumables play an essential role in the day-to-day operations of research and development environments. The forum provides the perfect platform for companies to exhibit their new consumable products designed to enhance precision, efficiency, and workflow optimization. Among the standout innovations is Cytiva’s Protein Select resin, a consumable aimed at improving protein purification processes, an essential step in biochemical and pharmaceutical research.
Cytiva™ Protein Select™ resin is an affinity chromatography resin for purifying recombinant proteins using the self-cleaving Cytiva™. This technology simplifies tagged protein purification when used in research. It standardizes purification during process development and later phases of any protein that does not have an affinity binding partner.
Similarly, Sartorius Lab Instruments is introducing its Nanowell 3D Incucyte® assay plate, a tool designed for organoid and 3D cell culture testing, aligning with the increasing demand for more complex and physiologically relevant cell models in biomedical research.
Several other exhibitors are also presenting cutting-edge consumables to address specialized laboratory needs. Restek France is showcasing its Resprep PFAS SPE cartridges, designed for solid-phase extraction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are critical for environmental and food safety testing. Additionally, Greiner Bio-One is presenting a 1536-well thermal plate, catering to high-throughput screening applications. Meanwhile, Labcon has introduced Labcon MetalFree® pipette tips, offering ultra-pure consumables for trace metal analysis, ensuring minimal contamination in sensitive assays. The wide range of consumables displayed at the event underscores the industry’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of modern laboratories with increasingly specialized and high-performance materials.
Across the exhibition, it’s clear that the focus on consumables is centered on improving the reproducibility, reliability, and efficiency of laboratory research.
