Specimen Requirements for Burkholderia spp.
The Infectious Disease Laboratory Guide to Services has moved to The Infectious Disease Laboratory Test Catalog (https://labinventory.web.health.state.mn.us/#/). Please bookmark the new Test Catalog page. Guide to Services pages will be removed in the future.
The Infectious Disease Lab has updated our test offering guide (Test Catalog) to better serve our partners by providing clear, up-to-date specimen submission information. The Test Catalog now includes information regarding specimen acceptability criteria, shipping, average turnaround time, IDL test methodology, and background information about the test.
The Test Catalog (formerly Clinical Guide to Services) is a comprehensive reference guide of testing services, shipping information, and submission requirements for Minnesota’s Infectious Disease Laboratory.
Even though there are ongoing efforts to keep information current, some information may not be up to date due to recent changes in testing procedures and/or regulation. Many of these tests are only available with prior approval from the Minnesota Department of Health.
If you cannot find what you are looking for in the guide, please Contact the Infectious Disease Laboratory.
