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 […]

Discover groundbreaking research on the effects of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) micro- and nanoplastic particles on human brain vascular pericytes. This study delves into how these particles influence mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and gene expression related to oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and mitochondrial functionality. Findings reveal significant insights into the cellular responses to plastic pollution, highlighting potential […]

Maximizing protein extraction efficiency is a critical step in biological research. A recent study compared two popular methods: Precellys Evolution Touch with its advanced 3D bead-beating technology and the conventional sonication technique. Tested on fresh frozen pig liver biopsies, the results showed that the Precellys Evolution significantly outperformed sonication, delivering higher protein yields in less […]

The Coriolis Compact, an advanced device for microbial air monitoring aboard the International Space Station (ISS), has recently undergone evaluation. This state-of-the-art tool is poised to transform how microbial monitoring is conducted in the ISS’s confined environment, which is essential for ensuring astronaut health during long-term missions. Previously, air monitoring on the ISS relied on […]
