LUM on Tour in Autumn 2026
LUM is preparing for an eventful and impactful close to 2026, with a strong lineup of conference talks, customer events, and trade fair appearances across Europe and Japan. Our experts will demonstrate how LUM's analytical technologies delivers valuable insights for a wide range of applications.
The season begins this week on 7–8 October with two parallel events. At the Universität Duisburg-Essen, Prof. Lerche will speak at the Particle Based Materials Symposium 2026 on "Electrokinetic properties of 'hard' and 'soft' particles and its relevance to stability classification of dispersions. Zetapotential – Sedimentation behavior" - a topic that powerfully underscores LUM's deep expertise in particle analysis: https://www.uni-due.de/cenide/pbm2026
Simultaneously in Bremen, Uwe Rietz will present at the 12th Fachsymposium Polymerverguss (Fraunhofer IFAM) on the characterization of adhesives and adhesive bonds using analytical centrifugation: https://www.ifam.fraunhofer.de/de/Messen_Veranstaltungen/polymerverguss_2026.html
On 13–14 October, LUM will host an in-house customer event parallel to the SEPAWA trade fair. Up to 16 visitors from the cosmetics industry will be welcomed for a small excursion to our facilities. From 14:00 to approximately 16:30, guests will experience exciting live demonstrations, where cosmetic samples such as sunscreen, nail polish, and nail polish remover will be analyzed using LUM measurement technology.

From 14–16 October, LUM will exhibit at the SEPAWA trade fair at the Estrel Berlin (Stand D532). Mr. Uhl and Ms. Fröhlich will be on site, introducing our innovative instruments to experts from cosmetics, personal care, and raw material companies. LUM will also be represented with a poster in the Forum for Innovations.
On 14–15 October, Matthew Hood will present "ORTHOGONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF COMPLEX NANODISPERSION IN RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY" at Inter Nano Poland in Katowice. Together with our Polish distributor NGLab Sp. z o.o., he will inform potential and existing customers about LUM's solutions: https://internanopoland.com/
On 29–30 October, Mr. Hood and Mr. Woehlecke will represent LUM for the very first time at the CMP & Wet User Meeting in Dresden. LUM will be present with a presentation and as a Basic Sponsor with a small tabletop exhibition. We are very much looking forward to getting to know this expert community: https://cmpwetug.eu/next_meeting_nc3_1.html
