Last month the founders of KAX Group, Brad Swarbrick Managing Director and Rajani Davuluri Technical Director were delighted to exhibit at FACSS SciX 2024. The event is a stable fixture in the calendar for KAX Group and following from a successful 2023 this year saw Brad also speaking at the “What’s Hot Session” on Wednesday 23rd October alongside peers in the PAT industry. In this article Brad and Rajani explain their thoughts on the value of attending.

Brad was also pleased to spend time with Dipesh Khanal of The University of Sydney as he presented his poster titled “High-resolution nanoscale probing of anti-pseudomonal bacteriophages under environmental stress”. The poster was co-authored by Joon sup Lee of KAX Group and utilized VEKTOR DIREKTOR™ to highlight the important relationships that were hidden in the data.

KAX Group were also delighted to support the Women In Analytical Science session where Dr Karen Gall of HORIBA gave an overview of her amazing 17-year tenure at HORIBA. KAX Group have been collaborating with HORIBA on the development of their A-TEEM Direktor data analysis platform and look forward to continuing that co-operation.

The highlights, and why SciX is so important to KAX Group

Brad apart from the poster session what was the highlight of SciX for you?

SciX for me is a great time to network with peers in the field of MVDA and to get an understanding of new methodologies in industry and what our clients and potential customers are looking for in the next iterations of the KAX Group portfolio of products. This year I was delighted to see a poster presentation with the University of Sydney and Dipesh Khanal, Research Fellow NanoIR, Optical Photothermal Infrared spectroscopy, Nanosafety, Biospectroscopy, Pharmaceutics, Formulation development, aerosol science, dry powder inhaler, The University of Sydney – co-authored with our colleague Joon sup Lee.

Rajani why is SciX such a valuable congress for KAX Group to attend?

I believe SciX is a crucial event for KAX Group to attend. It offers valuable opportunities to connect with both existing and potential customers. The various sessions provide insights into current trends and new algorithms available in the market. Additionally, the event helps us refine our product development and marketing strategies.

KAX Group is already looking forward to SciX 2025 in Kentucky we hope to see you there!
