Event dedicated to innovations and breakthroughs in rapid analysis & diagnostics across the agri-food, water/environment, plant science, human and animal healthcare, and forensic science sectors.

Technologies include but are not limited to (bio)sensors (electrochemical, optical, photonic), DNA- and RNA-based methods, paper-based detection methods, microfluidic/nano/quantum devices, spectrometry, and spectroscopy for rapid analysis & diagnostics.

RME aims to further strengthen the academia-industry relations and disseminate advanced research towards practical applications. From concept to product, from analytical methods to systems, and from laboratory to on-site testing are the main themes of the conference.

RME is bringing together laboratory managers and technicians, food safety and quality assurance/quality control managers, technical managers, healthcare professionals, veterinary diagnosticians, plant science and agronomy scientists, environmental (water) scientists, forensic researchers, and others interested in rapid analysis & diagnostics.
