35th International Symposium on Chromatography (ISC 2026)

Join us in the beautiful and historic city of Prague from September 6th to 10th, 2026, for 35th International Symposium on Chromatography (ISC). As a premier global conference dedicated to chromatography and separation sciences, ISC offers an excellent platform for scientists, researchers, and industry professionals to come together, share meaningful insights, discuss emerging trends, and explore the latest advancements in analytical technology.

Building on the milestone of Shimadzu’s 150th anniversary last year, we remain committed to supporting the scientific community with solutions that are both innovative and highly reliable. We invite you to visit us during the event to exchange ideas and discover how our dedication to quality and continuous improvement can empower your research and daily workflows.

Person giving a talk

Join us for an engaging seminar introducing three new analytical solutions designed to help laboratories work smarter, respond faster, improve robustness, and achieve greater confidence in their results. As analytical demands continue to grow, laboratories need technologies that not only deliver strong performance, but also enhance efficiency, flexibility, and ease of operation. This seminar will highlight how our latest innovations in IC, UHPLC, and GC-MS/MS can streamline workflows, support complex applications, and create new opportunities for productivity across your laboratory.

  • 1   Nexera IC – New compact ion chromatography solution for reliable, high-sensitivity anion and cation analysis.
    • Dr. Gesa Schad
  • 2   Nexera X4 – Next-generation UHPLC platform designed for ultra-high performance and robust operation without compromise.
    • Dr. Gesa Schad
  • 3   GCMS-TQ RX Series – Advanced triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS systems engineered for enhanced sensitivity and dependable trace-level analysis.
