Lasec®, the ultimate solution provider for laboratories across Africa, will showcase 17 international suppliers and a broad range of solutions and innovations at its pavilion at analytica Lab Africa in Johannesburg in July this year.

The Lasec® pavilion is a major drawcard at analytica Lab Africa, with exhibition space at its pavilion oversubscribed, and delegates travelling from across Africa for a rare opportunity to get hands-on access to the latest laboratory furniture, equipment and software solutions.

Lasec® Director Delphine Darling says Lasec® pavilion at the trade show will feature suppliers of products and solutions across the laboratory workflow, with product demonstrations and talks throughout each day. 

She says: “Visitors to the pavilion will benefit from informative interactive talks, hands-on demos, and literally explosive demos on chemical safety. They will also get a first-hand look at some suppliers who are new to analytica Lab Africa, including innovative products for food and beverage and packaging quality control in the FMCG industry.”

Lasec® Product Portfolio Manager Kylie Davis says: “Lasec® has grown its pavilion at analytica Lab Africa over the years. This year we had such an excellent response from previous suppliers that we had to work on a first-come, first-served basis for supplier participation.  Many suppliers wanted to come again and many new suppliers wanted to participate, so we were oversubscribed for the space that we had available in 2025.”

In line with a growing focus on AI and data-driven decision making, Lasec® will also introduce a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) partner at analytica Lab Africa this year. 

Davis says: “LIMS can basically help you to run your lab more effectively, improving sample flow, and using data more effectively for decision-making. Where LIMS was once the preserve of highly specialised labs, it is now becoming more accessible and essential for most labs. At analytica Lab Africa, we will have a biotechnology-focused laboratory setup connected to a mock LIMS system, so visitors can see how working LIMS can function.”

Davis adds that the co-location of analytica Lab Africa with IFAT Africa, the leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste, and recycling, is highly beneficial for exhibitors and visitors to the trade shows. 

She says: “Lasec® supplies products that assist with waste management, so at the last co-located event, we had numerous visitors to IFAT Africa visiting our pavilion too.”

“Environmental impact is a priority within the laboratory space, and apart from waste management equipment, we also have a number of innovations that can support better use of consumables in the lab and the cutting down of waste in the laboratory industry. So it is a very relevant co-location.”

Darling notes: “As the ultimate solution provider for laboratories, Lasec® works to fulfill a complete workflow. At analytica Lab Africa, our biotech lab showcasing the furniture that our team manufactures, as well as the range of products we can offer for various types of labs. We will also highlight our application specialists who assist customers in getting the maximum out of their equipment, and the expertise of our service department.”
