The Certification Program
surveys,
reports on, and certifies laboratories that test milk, clinical
laboratories that test or use human tissues, and environmental
laboratories that test drinking water.
Chemistry includes
Organic and Inorganic Laboratories, Toxicology,
and Radiochemistry. The Organic and
Inorganic Chemistry Laboratories perform most of the water tests in the
division. The rest are performed by microbiology.
Clinical Laboratories in Colorado are registered through the
Certification Program under the federal regulation known as the Clinical
Laboratory Improvement Amendments, better known as CLIA. Every
site in the United States that conducts tests on human specimens for
diagnosis, treatment or health assessment is required to hold the
appropriate type of CLIA certificate.
