The Infectious Disease Laboratory

A section of Minnesota’s Public Health Laboratory

The Infectious Disease Laboratory (IDL) provides surveillance, reference, and diagnostic testing services that are generally not available elsewhere in the state. Laboratories serving Minnesota are required by state statute to submit specific microbial isolates.

In addition, the IDL is prepared to respond to emergencies and outbreaks that threaten the public's health, using some of the most cutting-edge methodologies and equipment available. We also encompass the Minnesota Laboratory System (MLS), and our Emergency Preparedness and Response unit partners with the Environmental Laboratory to constitute Laboratory Emergency Preparedness.
