  1. The Illinois State Laboratories Capabilities Database Bioterrorism Committee Laboratory Workgroup Last Updated: May, 2005

  2. Original Intent: To provide an electronic source of information on sample collection, specific analytes, and laboratory contacts to First Responders in the field. Subsequent Realization: A relatively comprehensive database, defining analysis capabilities of various state laboratories for specific chemical, biological or radiological agents, methods employed and instrumentation available, would serve as a great resource to the Illinois state laboratory community.

  3. Initial Issues • Information to include: • Sampling, analytes, contacts but what else? • Organizational Structure • End-user access – who needs what information • Degree of sophistication • Point of Entry: General class; analyte; matrix • Gathering information • Defining contacts in agency labs • Developing data collection forms • Presentation platform • CD; network-based; other options • Longer-term maintenance • Who and where; costs?

  4. Example Data Collection Form Also matrices, etc.

  5. The Analyte Class - Matrix Concept The first responder would determine the class of the analytes to be measured in the matrices of interest – the database would provide the responder with the 1° laboratory contact, with sampling and container information; and with the ability to choose specific analytes, as desired. State labs tend to be defined in terms of the matrices in which they work. For example, Dept of Ag labs do much of the animal tissue analysis in the state.

  6. Test Method Analytes 1° Labs Capacity Contacts Equipment Certifications Illinois Analytical Laboratory Capabilities Database Lab Managers would have access to additional information X Matrix Class Logic Sequence

  13. History and Current Status • Gary Germann made the first attempt to gather • lab capabilities information for ITTF in 2003 • Database development began in Summer, 2004 • after concept was approved in ITTF Lab Workgroup • Data collection began via email – analyte lists were • developed and individual lab capabilities were defined • Database construction at WMRC was unfunded, • bootlegged as time and resources permitted • Contact information, radiological, inorganics and • volatile organics information were built into tables • Basic user-access functions were developed • The work ground to a halt in May, 2005 with departure • of the Access programmer.

  14. Clinical Animal Plant Food Chemical Soil Radiological Water Air Biological Other Current ITTF Lab Response Structure Analyte Classes Matrices Labs are assigned responsibility for specific matrices under each analyte class. Environmental

  15. Where to go next Is the database needed? • If yes: • Identify (and probably pay for) a programmer • Verify lab contact information • Renew data collection effort – semivol; biochems • Resolve issues like forensic placement – who? • Refine the format and user-access point. • Define platform. • Estimated programmer time: 50-75 hours • Estimated data collector (me) time: 100-150 hours • Budget: ? $2,000 to $4,000 guess
