Today, Kazakh President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has paid a visit to the Center for Sanitary and
Epidemiological Expertise in Astana. The new building, equipped with eight
modern laboratories, has been commissioned this year. The center itself has
been operating for 19 years and conducting research on the environment and food
products for bacteriological, molecular-genetic, parasitological and
toxicological indicators, as well as radiation control. High-precision
equipment and advanced techniques, which do not require the use of aggressive
chemicals, enable the center to obtain reliable results, thus reducing the
research time and financial costs. In the near future, the center plans to
conduct analyses for 2,000 indicators. Besides, adherence to international
quality standards will allow the center to become a reference laboratory, which
means that it will be the place to verify the accuracy and reliability of
research conducted by other laboratories.
