training—ensuring optimal performance and maximum reliability of analytical instruments.

How do rapid detection technologies and your solutions improve food safety and supply chain
traceability?

Food sector operations are highly time sensitive, necessitating the use of rapid detection technologies. Even a
short delay might push contaminated food further along the supply chain, putting public health and consumer
trust at risk. Our solutions enable laboratories to detect pathogens, chemical residues and allergens quickly and
accurately, preventing unsafe food from ever reaching store shelves or consumers’ tables. Moreover, our
solutions integrate sample tracking, automated data capture and audit-ready reporting, creating a digital trail,
right from raw materials to finished products. All of the tests and other interventions are documented, ensuring
compliance with ISO, HACCP and regional regulations, while garnering confidence from manufacturers and
consumers in the food they produce or consume.

What makes your food testing solutions “future-ready” for evolving
industry needs?

At PerkinElmer, we design our food testing solutions with future needs in mind as the food industry continues to
evolve. Our instruments, such as the GC 2400™ Gas Chromatography System and QSight® LC-MS/MS, are
designed to address these challenges with flexibility, high throughput and exceptional sensitivity. In addition to
world-class hardware, our solutions are also integrated with laboratory information management systems and
analytical tools, offering real-time insights and predictive capabilities.
For example, during a recent visit to the UAE, our team noticed a surge in demand for honey, a product that
could be prone to adulteration and quality concerns. With our future-ready solutions, laboratories can rapidly test
contaminants, verify authenticity, and ensure compliance, helping manufacturers meet consumer expectations
and regulatory requirements. Similarly, other high-value products in the region, such as dates and saffron, can
benefit from these predictive and precise testing capabilities.

We ensure that laboratories are equipped to meet the current needs, while anticipating future requirements.
Ultimately, our goal is to empower laboratories to maintain the highest standards of food safety, quality and
compliance, in the present and the future.

How can food manufacturers use your solutions to meet strict regulations, and what advice would you
give for implementing strong food safety and quality practices?

Presently, food manufacturers are under immense pressure due to rapidly changing global and regional
regulations, evolving consumer expectations, and increasing scrutiny from regulatory authorities. Alongside these
challenges, manufacturers are also dealing with complex supply chains, emerging contaminants, and the
demand for faster product releases without compromising safety. Recognizing this, we offer advanced
technologies and integrated workflows for labs, enabling manufacturers to fulfil even the most stringent
regulatory requirements. For instance, our solutions like GC 2400™ Gas Chromatography System and QSight®
LC-MS/MS, facilitate precise detection of contaminants, allergens and chemical residues, while delivering fast
and reliable results. Moreover, to ensure robust food safety, it is imperative for companies to integrate laboratory
testing into their production process so that quality checks happen at every critical point.

What are your key goals for expanding in the Middle East food testing market?
Through our partnership with Emphor DLAS, our distributor in the UAE and Qatar, we have gained extensive
footprint in the Middle East region. We further aim to offer seamless access to our advanced analytical
technologies, including the GC 2400™ Gas Chromatography System and QSight® LC-MS/MS, across the
region, enabling labs to detect contaminants faster, improve throughput and maintain the highest standards of
compliance. Events like ARABLAB serve as ideal platforms to showcase our innovative solutions to industry
players and become a part of their growth journeys, while enhancing food safety standards across the Middle
East region.
