Dubai has opened one of the world’s largest and most modern in-house airport labs for processing of COVID-19 PCR tests at Dubai International (DXB) in another major step in its efforts to further enhance safe international travel while accelerating the recovery of the travel sector.
Located close to Terminal 2, the 20,000 square-foot laboratory is a dedicated facility for around-the-clock processing of PCR test samples collected from passengers at DXB.
Using the latest WHO-standard COVID-19 PCR testing equipment, the lab can process up to 100,000 samples per day and provide reliable results within a few hours.
The lab is equipped with negative and positive pressure rooms and is linked to government reporting platforms ensuring secure and easy sharing of information between health and regulatory authorities and airlines.
