State Diagnostic Lab Open For Business
animal agriculture testing that has
been sought for a number of years,
and updates facilities abilities that
have been allowed to stagnate for
mote than a decade.
Pennsylvania lost its accredita
tion under the Casey administra
tion and began then to actively
seek to regain it.
The reasons for having accredi
tation of the state diagnostic labor
atory are many, but primarily so
that scientific testing requited for
normal agricultural-business can
be performed in-state.

For years now, certain required
tests for such things as exporting
livestock, and verifying suspected
animal disease in a herd or flock,
had to be performed at laboratories
out of state; not only sending busi
ness and money out of state, but
delaying business transactions and
significantly hindering in-state’s
businesses’ ability to compete.
The new laboratory at Harris
burg replaces a 1930’5-era facility
at Summerdale.
Starting Monday, those requir
ing the services of the diagnostic
laboratory can begin sending sam
ples for testing.
