Infectious Disease Diagnostics
Explore the latest tools and breakthroughs in infectious disease diagnostics
Accelerating diagnostic breakthroughs, from molecular surveillance to the frontline of antimicrobial stewardship.
The landscape of infectious disease is moving faster than ever. As global health faces the dual threats of emerging pathogens and rising resistance, the laboratory has become the most critical line of defense.
This SelectScience Editorial Feature serves as a high-authority intelligence hub for clinical scientists and researchers. We bring together peer-validated workflows, AI-driven diagnostics, and expert-led strategies to help you stay ahead of the curve. Explore the latest breakthroughs in rapid testing, sepsis management, and the global arms race against antimicrobial resistance.
How the Aerospray TB is reclaiming the lab bench
In a high-volume diagnostic environment, every inch of benchtop space and every minute of a shift is a finite resource. The Aerospray® TB is redefining laboratory efficiency by merging two critical workflows into one footprint: a high-performance stainer and a powerful cytocentrifuge. By eliminating the need for separate instruments, labs can drastically reduce capital costs without sacrificing speed. Whether running fluorescence or carbol fuchsin programs, the Aerospray TB delivers consistent, ready-to-read results in just 6–8 minutes.

Combatting the 460% surge in MDROs: A case-based guide to precision stewardship
With NDM-CRE (New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales) cases skyrocketing by 460% since 2019, the margin for error in antimicrobial detection has never been slimmer. Join our panel of global experts as they use a real-world clinical case to demonstrate how rapid PCR screening and AST results can transform patient outcomes and satisfy the latest IDSA guidelines.

How 'viral mimics' are hardening the front lines of RNA diagnostics
When diagnostic precision is the only line of defense against an outbreak, your positive controls cannot afford to be fragile. ZeptoMetrix is reimagining quality control by 'armoring' target RNA segments — from SARS-CoV-2 to H5N1 — inside recombinant phage-like particles (PLPs). Discover how these non-infectious mimics provide high-concentration accuracy and room-temperature stability for over 12 months. This breakthrough ensures that molecular assays remain precise, scalable, and ready for the next viral challenge, without the biosafety risks of live pathogens.

How a single drop of blood can resolve the bacterial vs. viral debate
When diagnostic ambiguity leads to antibiotic misuse, a rapid, finger-prick test that distinguishes bacterial from viral infections in minutes is a game-changer for urgent care. Watch our exclusive interview with MeMed CEO Eran Eden, Ph.D., to see how this 'drop-of-blood' technology is moving precision diagnostics out of the central lab and directly into the clinic.
