             Engineer Hind Mahmoud Ahmed, Acting Director of the Dubai Central Laboratory

             Department, said the new screen mechanism has been developed in line with the

             nature of food products and materials that are available in the local market.


             He 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.”






             Additionally, she highlighted the utilisation 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. 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 said 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.
