Testing for enterococci in drinking and recreational waters has become an essential safeguard for public health. These primarily intestinal bacteria serve as indicators of fecal contamination, and their presence can signal potential exposure to harmful pathogens. The European Union (EU) Drinking Water Directive requires one-to-one testing for enterococci alongside E. coli, underscoring their importance in assessing water safety. The IDEXX Enterolert-DW test for enterococci re

October 10, 2023 Introduction to the TIS Gene Expression Profile Innovations in multiplex gene expression analysis are revolutionizing translational research and clinical practices by enabling identification of gene signatures involved in various biological processes. Gene expression profiling (GEP) has proven particularly valuable in cancer research, revealing biological mechanisms relevant in cancer onset and progression and, in turn, patient-specific signatures enabling di

November 21, 2025 As spatial biology reshapes the future of biomedical research, spatial transcriptomics has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for revealing complex tissue biology. Technologies like the CosMx® Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI) are at the forefront of this transformation, enabling scientists to map gene and protein expression within the native spatial context of intact tissue samples, with a resolution of individual single cells and subcellular structures
