I would like to set up a laboratory with AAALAC accreditation and I have a few questions on it.

1. About the exportation of animal, in the program description, it mentioned that

"Describe how animals are transported between outside sources and the institution and within the institution, including loading, unloading, level of biosecurity, immune status and specific pathogen status (consider all species, including aquatic and semi-aquatic species)."

Is there any pathogen list or test list that needs to be completed in order to fulfill this requirement?

2. Actually, for detection, the principal methods for detecting microbial infections in animal populations are serologic tests (e.g., flow cytometric bead immunoassays, immunofluorescent assays) but other methods, such as DNA analysis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), microbial culture, clinical chemistry (e.g., lactate dehydrogenase virus), histopathology, and other validated emerging technologies, can also be used to make or confirm a diagnosis.

Does AAALAC require a lab with certain accreditation like HOKAS, ISO or medical lab accreditation?
