Purdue University is continuing to lend expertise and resources to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic by increasing Indianas testing capacity through the capabilities of the Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. Thanks to a collaborative effort involving Purdue, the Purdue Research Foundation, the Indiana State Department of Health and Indiana hospitals, the ADDL is utilizing its skills and expertise in the detection of pathogens to conduct COVID-19 tests on specimens from partner hospitals with the goal of providing results the same day the samples are received.

The ADDL began COVID-19 testing after obtaining the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification required for laboratories performing testing on human samples. This effort does not diminish the ADDLs diagnostic support for animal health and the safety of the food supply, which remains its first priority. Because of limited capacity to perform COVID-19 testing, the ADDL will only accept specimens from pre-approved partner hospitals.

*The ADDL has limited available capacity. Interested Hospitals should complete the Partnership Inquiry form if they wish to be contacted should testing capacity increase.
