You may already have plotted your schedule for the AACC Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo, decid-ing which sessions to attend and what vendor booths to visit.

Perhaps you’ll have free time to make use of, or seek a concise, bird’s-eye view of what’s going on.

This “unofficial planner” can be used as a helpful guide and navigation tool.

In it, you’ll find an overview of ses-sions, by day, type, and time. Unable to be in two places at once, you may wish to highlight a session you’re missing, to follow up on later.

With 650-plus exhibitors, the Expo is our industry’s largest assembly.Vendor booths, shown in alphabetical

order, help you plan a strategic course and avoid the need to double back for a missed opportunity.

The CLP AACC Show Planner can be viewed on mobile devices and is also available as a downloadable pdf—you will need Adobe Acrobat reader to view it. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat on your computer, you can download it for free from Adobe.com.

The interactive edition of the plan-ner gives you even more flexibility, should you choose to view it on your phone or tablet.

Note that poster sessions will be held on Tuesday, July 30, and on Wednesday, July 31, from 9:30 am to 5 pm.

Following or participating in social

media adds another layer to making connections at the annual meeting. CLP features a blog on its website, www.clpmag.com, and I’ll be tweeting @editorCLPmag. I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn.

...and easier to administer during field visits or check-ins. Observation of oral fluid collection is

less intrusive and reduces the risk of sample adulteration. Using the Oral-Eze® collection device—

with the blue-dot indicator window—assures collection of significant volume. Paired with Thermo

Scientific™ CEDIA® Oral Fluid assays, which use the same well-respected CEDIA technology as the

urine drug monitoring products, this new collection procedure provides a complete, noninvasive

screening solution. Calibrators and controls are liquid, ready-to-use. The CEDIA Oral Fluid Control

Set is packaged at ± 50 percent of cut off and can be used with any lot of reagent. Oral fluid screening

is now faster and more cost-effective with applications for a variety of clinical chemistry analyzers.

...and easier to administer during field visits or check-ins. Observation of oral fluid collection is

less intrusive and reduces the risk of sample adulteration. Using the Oral-Eze® collection device—

with the blue-dot indicator window—assures collection of significant volume. Paired with Thermo

Scientific™ CEDIA® Oral Fluid assays, which use the same well-respected CEDIA technology as the

urine drug monitoring products, this new collection procedure provides a complete, noninvasive

screening solution. Calibrators and controls are liquid, ready-to-use. The CEDIA Oral Fluid Control

Set is packaged at ± 50 percent of cut off and can be used with any lot of reagent. Oral fluid screening

is now faster and more cost-effective with applications for a variety of clinical chemistry analyzers.
