| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Principles of consolidation |
Principles of consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Enzo Life Sciences (and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries), Enzo Therapeutics, Enzo Realty, Enzo Realty II, and Enzo Clinical Labs (a corporate entity with discontinued operations). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
| Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
| Contingencies |
Contingencies Contingencies are evaluated and a liability is recorded when the matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. Gain contingencies are evaluated and not recognized until the gain is realizable or realized. |
| Fair Value Measurements |
Fair Value Measurements The Company determines fair value measurements used in its consolidated financial statements based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest. Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level 3 Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits with banks and highly liquid money market funds. At April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents in foreign bank accounts of $1,240 and $419, respectively. |
| Concentration of Credit Risk |
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company believes the fair value of the aforementioned financial instruments approximates the cost due to the immediate or short-term nature of these items. At April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company had cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash. Concentration of credit risk with respect to the Company’s Products segment is mitigated by the diversity of the Company’s customers and their dispersion across many different geographic regions. To reduce risk, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of these customers and, consequently, believes that its accounts receivable credit exposure with respect to these customers is limited. |
| Income Taxes |
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The liability method requires that any tax benefits recognized for net operating loss carry forwards and other items be reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the benefits may not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the liability method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

| Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard changes the impairment model for most financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss method to a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We adopted this standard for our interim period beginning August 1, 2023 using a modified retrospective transition approach. The impact of the adoption of this standard on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows was not material. In November 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance will be effective for our annual period ending July 31, 2025 and our interim periods beginning August 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, we expect the guidance will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded they are not applicable or not expected to be significant to the accounting for our operations. |
