President Tokayev visits Center for Sanitary and Epidemiological Expertise

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.
