PADLS has a unique structure in that it is a tripartite laboratory system. Each laboratory is able to provide expertise according to its resources. The three parts are Animal Diagnostic Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, New Bolton Center, University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Veterinary Laboratory, Harrisburg.
The Animal Diagnostic Laboratory (ADL) is located on the The Pennsylvania State University and housed with the Veterinary Science Department. This facility provides our system with state-of-the-art virology diagnostics. It also provides a BL/3 biocontainment unit in which research can be done to develop better diagnostic testing on highly pathogenic agents. PADLS-Penn State University also provides bacteriology, and pathology (gross and microscopic) services.
PADLS-PSU is best approached from the east and west via Route 322 by remaining on the State College bypass, also known as the Mount Nittany Expressway. The Best approach from the north and south is Route 26, which provides access to the route 322 bypass immediately north of State College. Route 26 becomes College Avenue as it passes through State College.
