Focusing on API Quality Control, Precision Sampling Empowers the Pharmaceutical Industry

HENCH Successfully Concludes 2026 Shanghai World API Exhibition

The three-day 2026 CPHI China (Shanghai World Pharmaceutical Raw Materials Exhibition) has successfully concluded. As one of the most influential industry events covering the full pharmaceutical raw material value chain in the Asia-Pacific region, the exhibition gathered more than a thousand global enterprises across APIs, excipients, and pharmaceutical testing equipment. It attracted professional visitors from pharmaceutical manufacturers, quality control departments, and research institutions worldwide.

Tianjin HENCH Technology presented its full range of laboratory precision sample preparation equipment, focusing on infrared spectroscopy sample preparation solutions for APIs, herbal extracts, and pharmaceutical excipients. With stable manual tablet presses, customized molds, and moisture-proof storage systems, the company gained strong recognition from industry users and successfully completed its participation.

Industry Focus: Quality Control and Compliance Drive Market Demand

This year’s exhibition covered the entire pharmaceutical industry chain, including API R&D, pilot production, quality inspection, and international trade. Key industry themes included green pharmaceutical development, regulatory compliance, and domestic laboratory instrument substitution.

In API and pharmaceutical powder testing, laboratories face strict requirements in sample preparation, particularly in:

• Preventing loss of trace samples
• Controlling moisture absorption and oxidation
• Ensuring stable and repeatable pressure during pressing
• Avoiding tablet cracking and delamination

These challenges remain long-term pain points in pharmaceutical quality control laboratories.

To address these needs, HENCH highlighted its portable automatic tablet press as a core product, along with circular and fan-shaped customized molds, potassium bromide consumables, and moisture-proof storage cabinets. Live demonstrations of powder pressing processes clearly showed the advantages of the equipment in infrared spectrometer sample preparation workflows.

Automatic Tablet Press: Compact Design for Laboratory Use

En prensa automática de tabletas features a compact structure suitable for laboratory environments with limited space. It provides intuitive pressure control and stable operation, making it ideal for pharmaceutical R&D laboratories and quality inspection departments.

For moisture-sensitive raw materials and traditional Chinese medicine extracts, HENCH demonstrated an integrated moisture-proof sample preparation workflow covering the entire process from powder pressing to sealed storage. This significantly reduces data deviation caused by moisture absorption and oxidation.

During the demonstration, many visitors engaged in technical discussions with the HENCH team regarding common sample preparation challenges such as powder agglomeration, tablet cracking, difficult demolding, and low-dose sample handling. The equipment performance received consistent positive feedback from industry professionals.

Global Visitors and Strong Cooperation Intentions

During the exhibition, HENCH welcomed visitors from large domestic API manufacturers, traditional Chinese medicine research institutes, university laboratories, and overseas buyers from Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

Long-term partners visited the booth to share stable equipment performance feedback, while new customers scheduled sample testing and factory inspection visits. Several cooperation intentions for bulk procurement and laboratory system integration were reached on site.

Overseas visitors showed strong interest in infrared spectrometer compatibility, mold customization cycles, and small-scale laboratory sample preparation solutions. Demand for compact and cost-effective laboratory equipment was particularly strong in emerging pharmaceutical markets.

Industry Trends: Demand for Efficient Sample Preparation Equipment Rising

Through discussions with global industry professionals, HENCH identified several key trends in the pharmaceutical testing sector:

• Increasing demand for compact and low-cost sample preparation equipment
• Wider adoption of compliant infrared spectroscopy workflows
• Growing need for high-performance manual and automatic tablet presses
• Strong demand for customized molds for irregular and trace samples

These trends provide clear direction for future product optimization and innovation.

Conclusion: Advancing Pharmaceutical Quality Control with Precision Technology

The successful conclusion of the 2026 CPHI China exhibition marks an important milestone for HENCH in expanding its presence in API testing and pharmaceutical quality control equipment.

Moving forward, Tianjin HENCH will continue focusing on infrared spectrometer sample preparation technologies, automatic and isostatic tablet press systems, and customized laboratory solutions for API analysis. The company aims to further improve equipment stability, expand customization capabilities, and support global pharmaceutical compliance testing.

With continued innovation and industry collaboration, HENCH is committed to empowering pharmaceutical quality control and strengthening its global presence in laboratory sample preparation technology.
