Covid-19 Detection Laboratory | Abu Dhabi

The laboratory, located in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, was rapidly built and operationalized by G42 and BGI in only 14 days, providing an immediate solution to COVID testing scale-up needs in the UAE. Proactively learning from the China experience in handling the COVID-19 crisis, the lab ensures that the UAE continues to lead the world as the most tested country per capita (according to the WHO). The lab is capable of conducting tens of thousands RT-PCR tests per day and is the first in the world of this scale to be operational outside of China. The lab showcases the joint commitment of G42 and BGI to the leadership and people of the UAE, working with the nation to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
