It is always a pleasure visiting analytica Anacon India and India Lab Expo to meet suppliers and discover cutting-edge lab instruments. The sheer number of manufacturers under one roof
makes it an invaluable event. It is nearly impossible to connect with so many vendors elsewhere. It is a great platform for buyers and sellers to come together. We had productive interactions with a wide range of manufacturers at the Buyer-Seller forum at this Mumbai edition.
