With an annual budget of over 30 million dollars and over 200 state employees, DCLS performs approximately 9 million tests annually.

DCLS is a member of the Laboratory Response Network, Food Emergency Response Network, and Environmental Laboratory Response Network and provides surge capacity for several federal laboratories.
