Countable Labs Launches Category-defining, Highly Sensitive PCR Platform — Countable PCR — Finally Quantifying Rare Events, Even From Limited Samples

Yahoo13-05-2025
PALO ALTO, Calif., May 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Countable Labs (formerly Enumerix) enters the genomics market with the launch of Countable PCR, redefining what's possible with PCR for rare event detection. By delivering 10 times more sensitivity and 10 times lower CVs than digital PCR, Countable PCR gives scientists the confidence they've been looking for when quantifying rare events, even from limited samples.
"Scientists have always been forced to compromise," says Eleen Shum, founding scientist & VP of Product at Countable Labs. "Quantitative PCR offers speed but sacrifices accuracy. Digital PCR makes strides towards precision but brings complexity with not a lot of cost savings. And, Next Generation Sequencing is powerful but comes with significant overhead. Countable PCR ends that compromise."
At the heart of Countable PCR's new technology is the ability to truly isolate single molecules within over 30 million compartments in a 3D gel matrix. From there, detecting and counting up to one million molecules is simple, direct, and precise.
And, to cut time and cost from current workflows, Countable PCR allows scientists to go from experiment idea to results much faster with the introduction of its Universal Multiplexing Kit — a quicker, cost-effective way to develop multiplex assays in three days and not months.
"This isn't just about quantifying rare events," says Jocelyn Davé, CEO of Countable Labs. "It's about removing friction from genomics workflows so applications that were previously too slow, too complex, or too expensive to scale can finally become routine."
Countable Labs debuts Countable PCR at ASGCT 2025 from May 13 - 17 in New Orleans.

Best's Market Segment Report: AM Best Maintains Negative Outlook on Brazil Reinsurance Market

MEXICO CITY, August 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best is maintaining a negative outlook on Brazil's reinsurance market segment, citing in part political uncertainty and tax reform measures that are pressuring industry profitability. In addition to the approaching 2026 elections, regulatory restrictions on foreign assets have limited domestic reinsurers' growth abroad, according to the Best's Market Segment Report. According to the report, Brazil's reinsurance market continues to recover, but a favorable trend needs to be sustained. AM Best will consider the outlook to be stable when the volatility of the industry's technical and bottom-line results narrows, coupled with positive technical income, amid the new tax reforms taking place in the country. Brazil's gross domestic product grew by 3.9% in 2024, despite an atmosphere of economic uncertainty. Strong private consumption has driven an increase in demand, while growth in services and agriculture contributed to growth on the supply side. However, the Brazilian real has undergone a significant devaluation, reaching 6.18 BRL/USD, as of 30 December 2024. Annual growth in Brazil's reinsurance segment was driven by the property, special risks, aeronautics and financial risk lines of business. This was offset by a decrease in the agricultural and marine business lines at the end of 2024. "Agricultural reinsurance can be considered a natural catastrophe-like exposure that leaves the sector vulnerable, but this is being mitigated by innovative techniques that now monitor climate risks," said Ricardo Rodriguez Perez, senior financial analyst, AM Best. "Despite these initiatives, agriculture reinsurance declined by 47%." Among the report's other highlights: Recent tax changes applied to Brazilian insurers and reinsurers have pressured profitability in 2025. These changes increase the tax applied to foreign exchange transactions, with offshore reinsurers paying more than triple the taxes than in previous years. A deceleration in reinsurance industry growth shows the improvement in risk selection from local or domestic reinsurers, but also reflects the increase of premium ceded by these insurers to reinsurers offshore. Brazil's (re) insurance segment has benefited from higher interest rates paid on its invested reserves. Investment income has contributed significantly to the profitability of Brazil's reinsurance industry, leading to positive bottom-line results for 2023 and 2024.
