SPICA 2026

Meet KNAUER at the 20th International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques in Muttenz (Basel) Switzerland October 13-16, 2026.

SPICA is the prime international event to learn about the latest progresses and best practices in the field of Preparative and Industrial Chromatography. The conference is a unique multi-disciplinary forum for expert scientists working in fundamental research and practical applications of Preparative Separation Sciences in the domains of chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, polymers, natural products, food, and fragrances.

Presentations by highly renowned scientists from Academia and Industry will give you a comprehensive view not only on the latest scientific advancements but also on the industrial challenges and opportunities which will be demonstrated with case studies. This year conference themes cover the whole spectrum of transformative solutions across therapeutic development, process intensification, digitalization, and sustainability.

Training workshops, free vendor seminars, poster sessions and a commercial exhibition are also main features of the symposium. To give visibility to the younger scientists of our community, the new SPICA Slam format will also be part of the programme.
