Exhibitors always have plenty to offer attendees at trade shows, but it's always the booths with free swag and demonstrations that tend to stay with you. 

Iris Sample Processing was among those showcasing its centrifuges, and Leica Microsystems and LW Sceintific brought scopes for attendees to check out.

AccuVein provided a demonstration of its AV300 vein illumination product, which locates patients' veins quickly and easily by shining a red light right on the arm-- an absolute marvel for anyone who's ever been stuck repeatedly "in vein" by health staff trying to draw blood.

In addition to the flood of business cards being passed around more than the bottled water, there are also brochures, cds, pens, bobble heads, and--fitingly--plenty of hand sanatizer to go around. 

 CLP was also at our booth meeting readers, handing out magazines, and signing up new subscribers.

Stay tuned for more specifics as CLP's blog coverage of CLMA continues tomorrow.
