Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in rapid DNA/RNA extraction, disease detection, and how SwiftX toolbox is transforming diagnostics for clinicians and researchers worldwide
Recent metagenomic and culture-based analyses from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health reveal that atmospheric aerosols host diverse microbial communities enriched with antimicrobial resistance genes. These findings position the aerobiome as a dynamic and underrecognized…
We are proud to spotlight our research partners at Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin. In collaboration with ANCHOR Diagnostics and Xpedite Diagnostics, the team is developing a rapid multiplex qPCR assay for species-level identification of dermatophytes, aiming to reduce…
Antimicrobial resistance may not be confined to hospitals or farms. Emerging genomic data from Vienna reveal that household dogs can harbor high-risk Escherichia coli lineages previously associated only with humans.
Large-scale serological surveys across animals and humans in Southeastern Europe are exposing diagnostic blind spots in zoonotic surveillance. Prof. Sara Savić’s data reveal widespread but under-recognized circulation of Brucella canis, Brucella ovis, Coxiella burnetii, and…
Over 4,300 samples from ticks, rodents, livestock, and wildlife—mapped with qPCR and whole-genome sequencing. Dr. Tamaš Petrović’s team in Serbia is uncovering the hidden molecular footprint of zoonoses across 70 municipalities. What do the data reveal?
From endemic hotspots in rural Turkey to advance, field-ready molecular diagnostics tools, the latest PREPARE-TID webinar brought science and public health challenges face-to-face. In the Part II of our blog post recap, Prof. Ilhan Cetin shared an in-depth look at the…
As vector-borne viruses move north, traditional diagnostics are being pushed to their limits.
In Part I of this two-part series, we explore key insights from the PREPARE-TID webinar, where experts discussed how climate shifts, low-viremia infections, and genomic surveillance are…
From post-cyclone islands to remote villages, field diagnostics are now delivering lab-quality results where they're needed most. Discover how WHO teams and scientists from Leipzig University and Xpedite Diagnostics are using SwiftX DNA extraction to track pathogens on the…
Over 90% of wastewater in LMICs goes untreated — yet it holds critical clues to infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. In this post, discover how researchers from Leipzig University and Xpedite Diagnostics are transforming pathogen surveillance with a field-ready DNA…
Why are millions still waiting weeks for a diagnosis that could take 30 minutes? Across Africa and Europe, scientists are proving we don’t need labs, centrifuges, or cold chains to detect deadly skin NTDs. The future of diagnostics is portable, precise and already happening.
