 Project Director: Shane Wyatt 
Project Summary 
 The Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services (DCLS) is the public health laboratory for the 
Commonwealth of Virginia and offers a wide variety of laboratory testing services for state and federal 
agencies, local governments and other states in support of public health, environmental protection, and 
emergency response. DCLS provides surveillance and emergency response testing of food samples for the 
Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) Food Safety Program by offering nearly 
comprehensive testing of food samples by microbiology, chemistry, and radiochemical methods. DCLS is a 
long-term participating partner in the FDA Cooperative Agreement Program (CAP) and is capable of providing 
screening for toxic compounds in foods by GC-MS, LC-MS, LC-HRMS, and ICP-MS. In addition, DCLS can 
perform targeted analysis to confirm the identity of adulterated compounds and quantify their presence as 
adulterants. DCLS is also the designated laboratory for food regulatory testing and provides surveillance and 
complaint testing for pesticide residues, aflatoxins, filth, toxic metals, food colors, suspected adulterations or 
the presence of natural toxic compounds. DCLS proposes to continue to support ongoing testing in these 
areas and complete a study of concentrated and diluted juices for the presence of toxic elements utilizing the 
FERN method CHE.0009.
