Two significant changes are coming to the PDIC this spring:
- Our lab will be moving to the Varsity Research Building (Module 10).
- We will be launching a new database app (replacing the current database) for entering and reporting out samples submitted to the clinic.
First of all, we are excited about these changes! For example the new lab will be much easier to access (e.g. parking will be directly in front of the lab) and we will occupy newly renovated lab space. As for the new database app, it will have several new functions and will have a cleaner interface and more security.
Regardless, this will require some attention to differences from how things are currently done. For example, our physical address will change, so people will need to remember that when they send samples. Also people will need to create a new account in the new sample system.
Fear not, though! We will be guiding people through the process when the time comes. We appreciate people’s patience as we transition, but we will use this post to update our progress on these items. Check back later for more updates.
April 10th, 2025:
- The process for getting our USDA-APHIS permit for our new location will take longer than we previously thought. We will be working as quickly as possible to get the permit, but we can no longer speculate as to when we will receive it and be able to resume processing out-of-state samples. As mentioned in the previous post, we will not be accepting samples from outside of North Carolina starting on April 21, 2025. Please continue to monitor this page for updates.
April 7th, 2025:
- The PDIC will not be accepting samples from outside the state of North Carolina from April 21 through May 2, 2025. This is due to the steps involved in moving our biological safety cabinet and the need to have our USDA permit transferred to our new location. Out-of-state samples received during these two weeks will be destroyed without inspection.
We hope to be fully operational again starting the week of May 5, 2025, but keep an eye on this page for any updates.
March 20th, 2025:
- We now have a move-in date! We will be moving into the new space on Monday April 28th, 2025 (barring major issues or delays).The clinic will be closed for business a few days before and after this date to ensure the move goes smoothly. We will post more details about our closure, new address, etc. soon.
- The database app is about ready to share with folks to test out! If you are interested, please contact us and we’ll send you a link to submit test samples.
January 24th, 2025:
We do not have a definitive move-in date to the new lab space, but it will likely be sometime around May, perhaps earlier.Regarding the new database app, we will be asking some people to help test it soon. If you are a member of NC State Extension and are interested in testing it out please contact us!
