2/5/24, 1:31 PM Dubai Central Laboratory develops innovative screening system to detect pork byproducts in processed food
Eng. Hind said: "The new system was created in microbiological laboratories, and it has
made all traded products more trustworthy by detecting pork byproduct residues with an

efficiency that is about 100 times higher than that of conventional examination

procedures. This achievement stands alongside the laboratory's numerous successes in
improving operations and meeting objectives, which include the development and

integration of globally accepted standards for laboratory testing and calibration
certificates,”.

Developing New Technologies

Additionally, she highlighted the utilization of a state-of-the-art device featuring a fully
automated system and secure protocol, facilitating comprehensive sample tracking from

the initiation of testing to the publication of results. Furthermore, the automated reading

based on fluorescence makes it one of the most sophisticated and cutting-edge methods
in the world for detecting microorganisms in food samples.

Eng. Hind further explained that the technology ensures fast and accurate results,
delivering outcomes within a single day and accommodating up to 100 tests per hour. The

capability of the technology to swiftly identify various bacteria, yeasts, and fungi

associated with food product quality and microbial contaminants play a pivotal role in
enhancing flexibility, productivity, and the screening process and mechanism.

Integrated Tests and Analyses

Customers can take advantage of the microbiology analysis laboratory services offered by
Dubai Central Laboratory, which include food product quality and safety examination,

nutritional supplements, food contact materials (FCMs), and food product expiration date

estimations.

Furthermore, they can benefit from environmental sample tests including bottled and non-

bottled drinking water samples to guarantee that it does not contain any disease-causing

bacteria, and sample tests of groundwater, irrigation water, sea, lakes, canals, beaches,
swimming pool water, hotels and dental clinics water, sediment and soil, natural reserves,

and hazardous-waste and fertilizers.
