Instrument Solutions at the LABNL 2025 exhibition

/in /by

From September 23 to 25, 2025, the LABNL laboratory exhibition will be held at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. During these days, the latest technologies, solutions, and tools for the laboratory will be presented.

LabNL Escape Room

On Wednesday, September 24, there will be a real Escape Room at LabNL. In the Biosecurity Escape Room, teams of up to six players will compete to be the first to unravel the biosecurity mystery. Participants will be confronted with a realistic laboratory scenario and will have to work together to contain a potential threat. Can you communicate effectively, apply the right safety measures, and use your analytical skills to find the right solution within the time limit? More information.

Would you like to experience what LABNL has to offer for yourself? Then head to Hall 10, where you can meet Instrument Solutions and its sister company SALM & KIPP. The stand number is 10C006. Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and network!

What can you expect at our booth?

 

Sample preparation

 

  • The CG-900 Cryo-Blade™ cryogenic grinder from Cole Parmer has a large capacity for grinding and processing sample material up to 1 kg. Thanks to the homogeneous grinding of the sample, only 1 g is needed as a representative test sample from a ground batch of 1 kg. Read more.

This Cryo-Blade is a great addition to the successful Freezer Mill, which grinds samples up to 200 grams.

  • New SNRG digestion block – This system is particularly suitable for digesting your samples with hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, aqua regia, and hydrofluoric acid(*).

 

ICP Analysis

 

  • Inorganic Ventures – top quality inorganic standards, both stock and custom-made standards. New are ready-to-use reagents for the Discrete Analyzer (100% satisfaction guarantee).
  • Glass Expansion – top accessories and consumables for your ICP-OES and/or ICP-MS.
