EVENT
SPECTARIS General Assembly & Future Festival 2026
Don't miss our annual highlight for exchange, inspiration, and shaping the future of the SPECTARIS industries together!
Fachverband Analysen-, Bio- und Labortechnik
German companies in the fields of analytical, biotechnology, and laboratory technology are global leaders in many areas; their products can be found in nearly every laboratory in the world.
They cover the entire process, from sample collection through sample preparation and analysis to sample disposal. It is only through this process that food and quality control, environmental technology, and materials testing become possible. These “Made in Germany” products also provide laboratory solutions for the pharmaceutical, chemical, and medical sectors; “life sciences” companies are among their largest customers. The SPECTARIS Trade Association for Analytical, Bio-, and Laboratory Technology brings together around 100 manufacturers in this industry.
Global competition in laboratory technology is intensifying, while regulatory requirements for manufacturers and products are also increasing. Moreover, the pervasive trend toward digitalization has become an integral part of laboratory work. Given this complexity, our trade association—with its working groups and networking events—provides an important platform to guide members and open up new business opportunities. This is where experts and decision-makers meet to actively shape regulatory processes and advocate for their interests.
Lab Vision – The Laboratory Industry's Radar for the Future
The Trend Radar for the laboratory industry is back! With high-profile keynote presentations, hands-on workshops, an industry exhibition, and interactive sessions, the SPECTARIS trend event Lab.Vision, taking place on September 26 and 27, 2022, in the auditorium at F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG in Basel, brings together key stakeholders in laboratory technology to translate the future requirements of the “Journey through the Digital Lab” into technology and business models.

What Our Members Say
We want to be a trusted partner for our laboratory customers, both today and in the future.
SPECTARIS’s in-depth information on industry and technology trends, as well as the regulatory landscape, is just as important to us as its advocacy work in Berlin and Brussels. The dedicated SPECTARIS team is always a great point of contact for us.
Dr. Christoph Schöler, Managing Partner, BRAND GMBH + CO KG, VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG
A voice for the industry
In a diverse and specialized industry such as analytical technology—which is highly technical and subject to numerous regulatory requirements—small specialists compete with large technology conglomerates. SPECTARIS succeeds in uniting the interests of all its members and serves as the industry’s collective voice and advocate.
Albrecht Sieper, Managing Director of Elementar Analysensysteme GmbH
SPECTARIS is the ideal platform.
SPECTARIS provides us with the ideal platform for constructive dialogue with member companies and serves as a reliable voice for the laboratory industry in the realms of politics and science.
Dr. Gunther Wobser, Managing Partner of LAUDA DR. R. WOBSER GMBH & CO. KG
SPECTARIS fosters collaboration in our industry.
“The very informative discussions at SPECTARIS in Berlin and here at our office convinced me of SPECTARIS’s commitment and the quality of its work. In particular, the opportunity to combine topics from analytical, biotechnology, and laboratory technology with the field of medical technology is very interesting for Sigma,” I wrote upon joining in 2011. This has been confirmed, and today we are actively involved in several working groups.
Dr. Michael Sander, Managing Director of Sigma Laborzentrifugen GmbH
The association offers services that are perfectly tailored to our needs.
Our industry association, SPECTARIS, is a strong advocate for the interests of medium-sized, owner-managed companies like ours. It is just as important to us that the association provides a platform for open dialogue among member companies and offers services—such as industry reports and events focused on specific topics—that are perfectly tailored to our needs.

Throughout our years of membership, we have felt very well informed about current requirements in international trade and developments in the laboratory market.
As a medium-sized manufacturer of liquid chromatography equipment, we rely not only on our own research but also on the information and analyses provided by the industry association Spectaris. Throughout our years of membership, we have felt very well informed about current requirements in international trade and developments in the laboratory market. We also take advantage of the training opportunities and value the exchange of experiences with other association members.
