Conventional protocols requiring large sample numbers from each time-point and laborious homogenization of tissues are often used to quantify hypervirulent bacteria that disseminate into the tissues. Here, we present the method of using Precellys Evolution homogenizer to speed up tissue homogenization in an efficient, safe, and consistent way to simplify bacterial quantification in tissues. This […]

Although rarely present in the atmosphere due to its short half-life (T = 55 s), Thoron can have a high concentration in places with high thorium content and thus represents a major issue for radiation protection. Several European research programs take the Thoron issue and its influence on radon measurement seriously. Find out in this […]

Considering previous nuclear disasters in the last thirty years (Chernobyl, Fukushima), authorities had to realize that there was very low knowledge about the actual level and dispersion of radiation. Consequently after those events, many nuclear power plants and surveillance authorities had to upgrade and strengthen their measurement networks to comply with a similar catastrophe scenario. […]

Bertin Winlight, formerly known as Winlight System, is proud to announce the signature of a new contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) for the supply of eight mirrors for the SMILE (Solar-wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Eplorer) satellite. Its mission: to study and analyze the interaction between solar winds and the Earth’s magnetosphere. SMILE is […]

Should I add protease inhibitors to the homogenization buffer for protein extraction applications? It depends on your downstream application, but protease inhibitors are often recommended to prevent protease-mediated protein degradation. Bertin’s Life Sciences team has also developed the Protein safe kits, a state-of-the-art lysing kit containing a proprietary mix of protease inhibitors. Please find more […]

During the last few decades, research work has been done to investigate the different drugs of abuse in different types of biological samples, such as hair. It has become important to develop a sample preparation method for a drug panel in hair using a single operation. Precellys 24 Touch’s bead-beating technology and LUXON-MS/MS’s unrivaled screening […]
