Description

Artificial intelligence is generating as much enthusiasm as it is raising legitimate questions within laboratories. For good reason: R&D and Quality Control teams are balancing the productivity opportunities offered by AI with their day-to-day regulatory requirements (ISO 17025, GxP, etc.) and compliance with the very recent European regulation, the EU AI Act. This session offers a practical overview of how AI is actually being used in the field, by examining business use cases in light of this regulatory challenge, with a particular focus on the EU AI Act. Through this presentation, participants will discover: 1. The new regulatory framework of the EU AI Act: understanding the impact of the new European AI Act regulation on artificial intelligence solutions used in laboratories, including transparency obligations, the essential role of human oversight (human-in-the-loop), and traceability requirements. 2. Managing the quality and relevance of AI-generated results: how to structure databases to provide artificial intelligence with a solid foundation and high-quality data so that it can produce reliable and actionable results. 3. Concrete and operational AI use cases in laboratories: from AI-assisted formulation to intelligent planning, including the automatic extraction of data from documents (scans, PDFs, reports) and natural language support through virtual assistants.

Opening conference - The laboratory in motion: how can we improve efficiency, strengthen reliability, and advance sustainable practices?

Description
Tight budgets, regulatory requirements, automation and artificial intelligence, resource optimization, environmental and climate imperatives... Laboratories must reconcile growing challenges while supporting their teams and preparing for the transformations of the coming years. • How can they innovate while keeping costs under control? • How can they automate while retaining control over operations? • How can they strengthen the reliability of results and reduce their environmental footprint with a constant budget? • How can they develop and retain the necessary skills without increasing pressure on teams? • Though these demands may seem contradictory, they can become drivers of progress. Drawing on feedback from laboratories that have successfully carried out transformations, this opening conference explores the technological, organizational, and human choices that are proving effective. Artificial intelligence, precision or miniaturized instrumentation, new sustainable practices: what concrete benefits can they deliver, what conditions are needed for success, and what impact will they have on professions and roles? Looking at yesterday’s choices to shed light on today’s decisions: which strategic shifts have paid off, which practices can be adapted to other organizations, and which directions should be taken as early as 2027?

Innovation Awards Ceremony

Description
The Forum LABO 2027 Awards celebrate and recognize projects, laboratories, teams, and individuals who stand out for their scientific or technical excellence, a major innovation, or a significant impact on their region, their sector, or the scientific community. These awards also encourage collaboration, equality, and diversity in the scientific world.

Maintenance et contrôles réglementaires pour les équipements de laboratoire

Speakers:
Jérémie LECOLLINETLABO AND CODirecteur commercial
Description
Laboratories are required to comply with an increasing number of regulatory obligations, without necessarily being required to maintain their equipment. However, compliance does not mean performance. This workshop begins with maintenance and its concrete benefits: fewer breakdowns, longer-lasting equipment, and controlled costs. It then presents regulatory inspections: their role, their limits, and the equipment concerned. Finally, it addresses metrology, which is essential to ensure measurement accuracy and cannot be replaced by either maintenance or regulatory inspections. Participants will leave knowing how to combine these three approaches to secure the use of their equipment and the reliability of their results.

La technologie TriMax des colonnes RMX améliore les performances de vos analyses GC

Speakers:
THIERRY LAURENTRESTEK FRANCEIngénieur technico commercial
Description
Laboratories today face increasingly demanding requirements: lower detection limits, more complex matrices, regulatory constraints, and a growing need for productivity. Discover how the new Restek RMX columns, featuring the revolutionary TriMax deactivation technology, help improve sensitivity, the quality of your results, and column lifetime for GC-MS and GC-MS/MS methods. Through concrete examples from environmental analyses involving compounds that are difficult to identify (SVOC, PAH, PCB), we will see how to obtain more reliable results while improving method robustness and extending column lifetime. Key takeaways: • Improved inertness of RMX columns thanks to TriMax technology → increased sensitivity for difficult compounds (SVOC, PAH, PCB) • Extended column lifetime → fewer replacements, less maintenance time • Greater robustness → lower detection limits, easier regulatory compliance
