"Today's UCLA show was well organized from initial interest, to all online discussion, to setup and running of the show. The location had lots of great foot traffic, allowing engagement of all sorts of researchers and others. We are looking forward to our next Biotech Cal show, with all the ones we've done this year being extremely successful." - N. S., Exhibitor, UCLA BCI event
"This is a very good show. I get to see a lot of new products and services. Hope the show can continue at least twice annually. Diffinity Genomics had very good, new products for DNA extraction. Their rapid, simple kit only takes 2 minutes - it saves DNA cleaning time. We asked, and so we received free samples to try to see if the DNA recovery process and quality are good." - Y. D., UCLA BCI event
"Today's vendor show was exceptional. The quality of the representatives' explanations were very thoughtful and even fun!

"I came here to bring my friend to his first vendor showcase. I love to spread the opportunity to those who are interested. I also checked in with my favorite flow cytometry company, BD. I also came to discuss our development of HLA-specific B-cell Elispot. I was able to find a company who will custom-make antibodies to our specific HLA-type antigen. I hadn't anticipated needing custom antibodies, but now we will be prepared. I (heart) vendor showcases!" - T. S., UCLA BCI event

"The show was very informative. As a lab assistant in a tissue bank, it was great to hear about the new water cooled freezer technology. Everyone was very nice and helpful. I enjoyed the lectures as well, they were very clear and informative. It was great to see the different applications of new technology. Great Expo, very well organized. Great deals, and samples and food were a plus. I was thrilled with the whole experience and can't wait to come back next year. Better than other expos I've attended in the past." - N.

I., UCLA BCI event
"I really enjoyed the show. It was nice to see the different products/prices that the different companies have. I liked that the companies gave samples so that you can test them out and find the best ones for your lab. It is great to get to know the scientific sales reps for the same reason." - M.

It was also a good opportunity to help students get to know other researchers and colleagues." - S. Z., UCLA BCI event
"I am a staff research associate that helps select products for my experiments and my lab. I have been to a few other vendor shows, but this is the latest I've been to a show.
