 The
Missouri State Public Health Laboratory is dedicated to the promotion,
protection, and assurance of the health of Missouri's citizens by
providing a wide range of diagnostic and analytical services. These
services include quality-assurance laboratory testing for infectious
diseases, genetic disorders and environmental health concerns, both
in support of public health programs, and as a reference laboratory
performing unusual or specialized procedures. The laboratory provides
scientific expertise and managerial leadership in meeting the rapidly
changing challenges in the clinical and environmental laboratory
disciplines and in the development of public health policy.
About three million tests (many required by law) are performed
in the State Public Health Laboratory and the two branch laboratories,
one in Poplar Bluff and one in Mount Vernon. Approximately 350,000
mailing kits are assembled and distributed each year for the return
of specimens from hospitals and private laboratories as well as
city, county and district health offices. The State Public Health
Laboratory also functions as a reference lab for medical laboratories
in the state and confirms results or completes organism identification.
