The Coriolis air sampler is designed to offer flexibility for microbiological air sampling, whether indoors or outdoors. Its battery-powered functionality allows for reliable sampling in various environments, but like any battery-operated equipment, it requires certain practices to maintain optimal battery performance over time. Here are some key tips for prolonging your Coriolis µ battery life […]

In the third application note of our “Mastering Tissue Dissociation” series, we explored liver tissue dissociation to isolate single cells. Using liver samples from mice housed in standard conditions (UAR BioMedTech Facilities), we achieved a cell viability rate of 84.35%. This method ensures cell integrity, providing high-quality suspensions for liver research. Bertin Technologies’ Precellys Multi […]

The quality and efficiency of RNA and DNA extraction are essential factors in molecular biology research, diagnostics, and clinical applications. Whether in research laboratories, medical testing, or biotechnology facilities, optimizing RNA and DNA extraction protocols ensures reliable, high-quality results. The extraction techniques can vary based on the sample type and complexity, with methods including mechanical […]

Detecting airborne pathogens is essential for both environmental monitoring and public health. A recent study assessed the efficiency of Bertin Technologies’ Coriolis Compact air sampler in combination with Promega’s Maxwell® RSC Enviro Total Nucleic Acid Kit for extracting and purifying total nucleic acids (TNA) from air samples. The study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of […]

From 21 to 25 October 2024, our teams will be at ICSO to showcase their expertise. Organised by CNES and ESA, the event will take place in Juan-les-Pins, France. Since 1991, ICSO has been a major event dedicated to optical technologies in space. Bringing together experts, researchers, engineers and industrialists from all over the world, […]

In this study, researchers examine the effects of two drugs, everolimus and metformin, on triple-negative breast cancer.  Everolimus blocks a protein called mTOR, while metformin blocks part of the mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of cells. They found that everolimus reduced products of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, a key energy-producing process, and inhibited an enzyme called pyruvate […]

Bertin Technologies is pleased to announce that it has obtained ISO 19443 certification, an international standard that has become a standard in the nuclear sector, aimed at reinforcing the safety and quality control of electricity or fuel production facilities. It is specifically aimed at suppliers and subcontractors of products and services important to nuclear safety, […]

Monitoring airborne pathogens in equine environments is key to preventing the spread of diseases such as equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1), which can cause serious health issues. Bertin Technologies’ Coriolis Compact Air Sampler is a practical solution for identifying respiratory viruses in horse barns. In a recent study, the Coriolis Compact detected EHV-1 in 75% of subclinical […]

Obtaining viable single cells from lung tissue is essential for understanding respiratory function and disease mechanisms. Despite its importance, isolating these cells remains challenging. Bertin Technologies’ Precellys Multi Tissue Dissociation kit, in conjunction with the Precellys Evolution Touch (or Precellys Evolution), offers an effective solution for dissociating lung tissues into single cells. In our recent […]

Detecting airborne pathogens is crucial for environmental monitoring and public health. A recent study evaluated the performance of Bertin Technologies’ Coriolis Micro air sampler combined with Promega’s Maxwell® RSC Enviro Total Nucleic Acid Kit for the extraction and purification of nucleic acids from air samples. The results demonstrated the effective detection of viruses and bacteria, including SARS-CoV-2 and […]
