SF424: Other Project Information 
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. The Virginia Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services (DCLS) is applying for the 
FDA LFFM Method Development and Validation Analytical track. DCLS will use these funds to validate a 
method for the molecular detection of Salmonella DNA for screening of sample enrichments by qPCR. DCLS 
will also utilize these funds to implement an arsenic speciation method by LC-ICP-MS for the separation of 
inorganic and common organic forms of arsenic in sea foods.
