“And then the other thing here that we talked about on the respiratory side, we probably need to see a little bit above normal respiratory season to finish the year here in Q4 back to that kind of endemic $1.8 billion rate that we see going forward.”

In context

“st, you need to see some further improvement across the Life Sciences end markets. I think we're encouraged by what we saw here in Q1, but we need to see some of those policy headwinds further abate, especially in the U.S. and what we've seen there. I think China, good start to the year, but we need to see further growth acceleration as well.

I think the second thing, bioprocessing, we probably need to see it a little bit better than the high single-digit growth. We need to accelerate on the consumable side as well as get that equipment growth going here, again, encouraged by the order patterns, but probably need to see it move a little bit quicker. And then the other thing here that we talked about on the respiratory side, we probably need to see a little bit above normal respiratory season to finish the year here in Q4 back to that kind of endemic $1.8 billion rate that we see going forward. So I think all in all, we're encouraged by the start to the year. We're already at 3% ex respiratory today and encouraged to see some of the underlying trends improve as we talked about.
