• if you need a copy of the North Dakota State Lab's CLIA certificate, please click here. 

*Before testing, verify testing requirements with your airline and destination. At your testing site, tell the staff that you are testing for travel purposes and what type of test is required for your destination. Disclosing you are a traveler does not prioritize or rush your results; rather it allows us to more easily track your sample to provide you with your result as soon as it is available. Please keep in mind that a viable alternative for your testing needs may not be listed.
