Hands-On Demo in conjunction with SEPAWA 2026

In the fast-evolving world of cosmetic science, data-driven decisions separate breakthrough formulas from also-rans. Yet too often, formulators rely on indirect metrics or delayed lab results to assess stability, particle size, and formulation performance. LUM GmbH invites you to change that - with a unique, immersive afternoon that puts measurement technology directly into your hands.

On October 13 and 14, 2026, in conjunction with SEPAWA 2026, LUM opens its headquarters in Berlin-Adlershof for an exclusive hands-on experience. The event kicks off with a convenient shuttle pickup at 1:30 PM from Booth D532 (LUM) at the Estrel venue. From there, you’ll travel to the state-of-the-art LUM facility, where science meets applications.

The core of the afternoon is four interactive live demonstrations. Unlike passive lectures, these sessions invite you to experience LUM’s cutting-edge instruments first-hand - testing real cosmetic samples that matter to your daily work. Bring your curiosity, because you’ll experience live analyses of sunscreen, nail polish and nail polish remover and get to know the LUM concept of real time and accelerated stability testing. Each demo is designed to mirror actual quality-control and R&D challenges, giving you actionable insights you can apply as soon as you return to the lab.

Between the demos, you’ll enjoy coffee and cake while consulting directly with LUM’s application experts. This is your chance to ask specific questions about your own formulations, troubleshoot persistent instability issues, or explore how multi-sample analytics can accelerate your product development cycle. This informal setting fosters genuine dialogue and gives you the chance to receive science-backed advice from engineers and chemists who use these tools every day.

The entire experience lasts just 3.5 hours but those hours are priceless! LUM covers the shuttle, the refreshments, and the expert time, because they believe that seeing is believing. When you witness how rapid, reproducible measurements can replace weeks of waiting, the value becomes undeniable.

Space is intentionally limited to a maximum of 8 participants per group. This small-group format ensures every attendee gets hands-on time at each instrument station and personalized attention from the LUM team. Given the high demand for such interactive sessions during SEPAWA, early registration is essential. To secure your spot, simply email to event@lum-gmbh.de. Jessica Fröhlich, the senior event and marketing coordinator will handle your reservation and answer any logistical questions.

The return shuttle departs after the final demo, with an estimated arrival back at the Estrel by 5:00 PM - in plenty of time for evening networking or dinner. Whether you’re a seasoned formulator, a quality manager, or an R&D leader, this afternoon will reshape how you think about instrumental analytics. You’ll leave not just with new data, but with new insights how to predict, optimize, and perfect your cosmetic formulation performance – and considerably shorten your time-to-market.

Don’t let this opportunity pass. Register today, and experience firsthand how LUM’s technology turns complex stability questions into clear, actionable answers.
