Use of the Precellys® Evolution homogenizer for unbiased DNA extraction from the ZymoBIOMICS™ Microbial Community Standard

07 Nov 2017

Microbiome profiling via Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques is rapidly changing the landscape of microbiology. However, to ensure accurate microbiome measurements, it is essential to ensure the microbiome workflow is unbiased and robust. For instance, it has been reported that bias in microbiomics analyses can be introduced at every step including the DNA extraction step […]

Best practices for cell culture confluency calculation with InCellis

24 Oct 2017

Cells are used as a working tool everyday in all R&D labs and quality checks must be performed in order not to compromise downstream experiments. In cell culture applications, confluence assessment is an important parameter that is commonly used to estimate the proportion of adherent cells. Most confluency measurements are estimations of the area covered […]

New Application Note: Sensitive sites surveillance with FusionSight

25 Sep 2017

Because of their activities, some industrial and civil sites are sensitive, such as airports, where there are a lot of people, or sites where hazardous materials are stored or manufactured, like nuclear power plants or chemical plants. Increasing terrorist threats over these sites have made the authorities strengthen their surveillance. In light of these new […]

New Application Note: Situational Awareness and Driver Vision Enhancement using the PeriSight system

16 Jun 2017

During the latest armed conflicts, light and armored military vehicles have often been targeted. On-board crews require systems to help improve their safety, providing day-and-night useful information on the environment, either for Situational Awareness (SA) or for Driver Vision Enhancement (DVE). PeriSight has been assessed by the French DGA and STAT, for the SA and […]

Coriolis air samplers are currently used for avian flu research

28 Nov 2016

Avian influenza refers to the disease caused by infection with avian (bird) influenza (flu) Type A viruses. These viruses occur naturally among wild and domestic birds worldwide and can also infect other animal species. As infection by avian influenza has environmental, health and economic impacts, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and the World Health […]

New Application note: Isolation and identification of viable immune cells from murine lungs

18 May 2016

This research focuses on immune response during lung inflammation and/or infection in vivo. This requires isolating viable cells from lungs and characterizing the immune cell populations by flow cytometry. Our standard protocol for isolating viable cells from lung tissue involves creating a single cell suspension by passing the tissue through a 70 μm cell sieve, […]
