We are in compliance, for certification, with CLIA for high complexity medical testing. We are accredited by NELAC for testing of coliform bacteria in drinking water. Extensive quality control is done in the lab. We are not a full service lab and are limited to testing drinking water, certain infectious diseases, and sexually transmitted diseases. Our services include some tests done by reference labs.
