Enhancing Efficiency
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.
The customers can get the test reports of microbiological laboratory safety tests of different samples of consumables and goods -
