Welcome to SFTA 2026

We look forward to welcoming you at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the French Society of Analytical Toxicology (Société Française de Toxicologie Analytique, SFTA), taking place from May 18 - 21 at the Aix‑en‑Provence Convention Centre in Aix‑en‑Provence, France. This year’s congress brings together experts, researchers, and industry partners to exchange insights and discuss the latest developments in analytical toxicology.

What to expect:

See the EVOQ DART-TQ⁺ in action and explore chromatography-free mass spectrometry, along with advances in sample preparation, data acquisition performance, and analysis.
Discover chromatography-free workflows using the integrated DART source of the EVOQ DART-TQ⁺ instrument, transforming conventional analyses into ultrafast, robust and cost-saving workflows.
Add the 4^th dimension of ion mobility to HRMS for the highest confidence in NPS identification.
Reliable forensics screening in biological samples with minimum effort using the Drug Screen Suite solution.
Easy-to-use and high sample throughput solution for seized-drug analysis using the Seized Drug Suite.
Ready-to-use kits: ToxBox^® by Pinpoint Testing and ClinMass^® & ClinDART^® by RECIPE Chemicals + Instruments GmbH

Stop by our booth to connect with Bruker experts, discuss your analytical challenges, and explore solutions tailored to your laboratory needs.

We look forward to meeting you in Aix‑en‑Provence and discussing how our products and services can support your analytical and forensic toxicology workflows.

You can also follow us on LinkedIn for the latest updates and more information on our solutions.

Featured Instruments & Solutions

EVOQ^®DART-TQ⁺

The EVOQ^®DART-TQ⁺ system delivers exceptional speed and sensitivity to set a new benchmark in multiresidue screening and quantitation. Achieve the increased throughput, lower cost of operation, and reduced downtime of chromatography-free workflow screens and confirm with LC-MS for the ultimate confidence in your results.

DART-MS

Direct Analysis in Real Time is a rapid and efficient ionization for mass spectrometry for measuring a wide range of analytes - solids, liquid and gases - in their native form, including many that don’t ionize well with other methods. Add it to an existing mass spectrometry system to ramp up versatility and throughput or invest in a fully integrated DART-MS solution.

impact II VIP

The impact II VIP sets a technology standard for analytical performance in residue and contamination screening, forensics, industrial and synthetic chemistry, biomarker research, and more, with unparalled ultra-high resolution Qq-Time-Of-Flight mass spectrometry.

timsMetabo™

timsMetabo™ is the next-generation research engine for 4D-Metabolomics™ and 4D-Lipidomics™ delivers unprecedented sensitivity, separation power and annotation confidence for small molecules.
