The launch of the new screening system comes in alignment with the constant
efforts of Dubai Central Laboratory to create an ideal ecosystem for laboratory
tests. It also seeks to provide a comprehensive service that ensures maximum
efficiency and quality while adhering to the best international standards and
specifications.

The system guarantees the safety and quality of food products available in the
market, contributing to the sustainability of the food system and enhancing
Dubai’s reputation as the premier global destination for both work and living.

Hind Mahmoud Ahmed, Acting Director of the Dubai Central Laboratory
Department at Dubai Municipality, asserted that the new screen mechanism is
developed systematically and continuously in line with the nature of food
products and materials that are available in the local market.

The new laboratory continues to provide flexible, highly accurate, proactive
testing services that meet the needs of customers. This aligns with the objectives
of Dubai Municipality to establish a sustainable health and food ecosystem,
ensuring community protection against food risks and enhancing the overall
quality of life in the emirate.

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,”.
