 Mission |
The Colorado Laboratory Forum was formed to ensure
that our state laboratories could rapidly, safely and accurately
identify biologic agents (naturally occurring
or intentionally
released) and communicate testing information via appropriate
methods, to allow law enforcement authorities to effectively respond to public health
threats and emergencies. |

|
| Goals |
-
Enhance communications methods for rapid response to state, national or global emergencies.
-
Improve capabilities by strategic planning and statewide laboratory exercises.
-
Train laboratory workers to rapidly identify dangerous bacteria via online courses and wet workshops.
