ABU DHABI, 23rd October, 2019 (WAM) – The Biogenics Laboratory, one of the leading companies of the “G42” group in the field of artificial intelligence and cloud computing and headquartered in Abu Dhabi, in cooperation with the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council, launched the first program to test the efficiency of procedures for detection of the emerging corona virus “Covid” -19 “In external laboratories throughout the Emirates.
The Proficiency Test Program, the first of its kind in the UAE, aims to raise the quality assurance standards for tests to detect the emerging corona virus (Covid-19) in the country, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and efficiency in diagnostic methods.
The proficiency testing process includes analyzing samples of the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests conducted by Biogenics laboratory before sending them to more than 15 government and private laboratories across the UAE, then the Abu Dhabi Council for Quality and Conformity evaluated the results of the tests before sending them to the laboratories again for verification. From the quality standard.
The primary samples were tested using five different methods, including the “Lambore” test, which is based on the isothermal isothermal amplification technique, and the rapid DNA sequencing technique. This technique has the ability to analyze thousands of samples daily using one device, and this test is characterized by speed. The laboratory carries out tens of thousands of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for reverse transcription every day, as the total number of samples it has conducted since its inception so far has reached more than 600,000 samples. .
Ashish Kochi, CEO of G42 Healthcare, expressed his thanks to the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council for its confidence in the Biogenics laboratory, and said: We express our great happiness in cooperating with the Council and in being the first laboratory in the UAE to obtain accreditation to examine standards for detection tests The emerging corona virus (Covid-19), and we are honored to set accurate and reliable testing standards, and are ready to cooperate with laboratories in the country to discover and solve deficiencies and upgrade testing standards, to ensure the adoption of a high degree of safety, accuracy, and efficiency, while conducting examinations and diagnostics for the population in all All over the Emirates.
Biogenix laboratory, which occupies a leading position in the market in the field of tests for detection of the emerging corona virus “Covid-19”, uses the latest diagnostics to perform the “RT-PCR” test and is the only one certified by the National Medical Products Administration in China, European accreditation for laboratory diagnostics, and US Food and Drug Administration accreditation and WHO.
The laboratory is a pioneer in caring for community health by maintaining the highest quality and efficiency standards, being the first laboratory to obtain ISO15189 accreditation and IgG & IgM antibodies from the UAE national accreditation system, and it is compatible with the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi and international standards.
