The new laboratory was opened on the basis of the laboratory of the branch of the "National Center of Expertise" of the Kostanay region, at Al-Farabi, 113.

This became possible thanks to the support of businessmen of the region. They allocated about 43 million tenge for the new laboratory. Of these funds, new modern equipment for the study of CVI was purchased for 29 million tenge. 

 - For 14 million tenge, we purchased special reagents that will not only increase the capacity of the laboratory, but also semi-automate and reduce the time of extraction (RNA isolation) to only 20 minutes, usually this process is carried out manually and takes several hours. After the second stage of processing, the material is sent to the third and only then we receive the full result of the study,” says Bauyrzhan Kopzhasarov, director of the branch of the National Center of Expertise of the Kostanay region.

Thanks to the new fifth laboratory, the research capacity in the region has increased to 2,000 tests per day.
