FutureDx Summit 2026 · Reagents & Consumables
Win the Lab Once. Supply It for Years.
Reagents and consumables are the recurring spend that keeps a diagnostic lab running. FutureDx Summit 2026 is a diagnostic reagents conference where you meet the NHS lab directors and procurement leads who decide what the lab buys, again and again.
P.S. Molecular reagents, IVD consumables, assay kits, or labware, if a lab reorders it, your buyers are here.

What wins the business
What Wins a Lab’s Reagent Business
A lab does not switch reagents lightly. Six things decide whether you are the supplier they trust, and the people who weigh them are in the room.
Reliable Quality
Consistent, dependable results, every run.
Supply Continuity
No stockouts, no last-minute scramble.
Value and Budget Fit
The right cost per test for the budget.
Workflow and Platform Fit
Works with what the lab already runs.
Technical Support
Help on hand when something goes wrong.
A Trusted Track Record
A name the lab can rely on, order after order.
Who decides
Who Decides What the Lab Buys
A reagent or consumable contract usually needs more than one yes. These are the people behind it, and they are all in the room.
Laboratory Directors
Set the lab’s supplier strategy.
Procurement and Supply
Negotiate and award the contracts.
Microbiology and Lab Managers
Judge day-to-day performance.
POCT Coordinators
Own near-patient testing consumables.
Why reagents are different
A Reagent Win Is an Annuity, Not a Sale
Reagents and consumables are not a one-off purchase. That changes what a single new lab relationship is worth.
Recurring, Not One-Off
Labs reorder month after month.
Sticky Once Adopted
A validated reagent stays in the workflow.
Volume at Scale
National labs buy at national volume.

Questions
Reagents and Consumables Sponsorship, Answered
Is FutureDx right for a reagents or consumables supplier?
Yes, and it is a direct fit. The NHS laboratory directors, procurement leads, and microbiology managers who decide which reagents and consumables a lab buys are exactly the audience in the room. You are meeting your customers, not an intermediary.
Who will we meet?
Senior diagnostics professionals from across the UK, more than 60% at VP level and above, every one validated as a decision-maker or procurement influencer before they register, including laboratory directors, procurement, and microbiology and lab managers. See reaching NHS lab directors.
We supply molecular or IVD reagents. Is this relevant?
Very. FutureDx is built around infectious disease and molecular diagnostics, so molecular reagents, IVD consumables, assay kits, and the laboratories that run them are central to the audience and the agenda. See molecular diagnostics.
Reagent decisions are a procurement matter. Does this reach procurement?
Yes. The room includes procurement and supply leads alongside the laboratory and clinical leaders who specify what is bought. Reagent and consumable decisions usually need both, and both are here.
How do we take part?
Through pre-arranged 1:1 meetings with the lab and procurement buyers you choose, a sponsorship package for brand presence plus meetings, or an exhibition stand. Request the sponsor pack for the options and pricing.
It is the inaugural edition. Is it worth it?
For a recurring-revenue product like reagents, winning a lab once can mean supplying it for years, so even a handful of new lab relationships can pay back. The room is capped and validated, and your spend is tied to confirmed meetings rather than footfall.
When and where is FutureDx Summit 2026 held?
FutureDx Summit 2026 runs across two days on 27 and 28 October 2026 in London, UK, with a drinks reception on Day 1.
