  • Industry scientists are warmly encouraged to submit abstracts describing scientific research, methods, or applications. However, scientific presentations must focus on research content and may not include sales material, product promotion, or marketing-oriented messaging.

  • Commercial presentations (oral or poster) are reserved exclusively for official ELMINA2026 sponsors.

  • To ensure a fair and scientifically focused program, abstracts will be peer-reviewed for scientific merit and must adhere to the following:

    • The title, abstract, and presentation content must focus on methods, results, and discoveries, not products.

    • Company names, logos, and product brands may not appear in titles, slides, or posters, except in the affiliation line.

    • Instrument performance claims, comparisons to competing products, and marketing slides are not permitted in scientific sessions.

    • Presentations that do not comply with these guidelines may be moved to the sponsored/commercial track or withdrawn.
