The CBRN threat (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear), particularly the use of chemical agents for terrorist purposes, is more and more taken into account by international authorities. To monitor this threat, the Japanese National Police Agency (NPA) deployed the Second Sight gas remote sensing camera. “After successful trials during the Rugby matches in Japan in […]

SelectScience showcases the latest technology and guidance for preparing samples for next-generation sequencing, quality control and whole genome sequencing methodology. A vast amount of information can be uncovered using RNA sequencing to analyze gene expression profiles. To achieve this, high-quality RNA must be obtained, making RNA extraction and purification a mandatory requirement for performing effective RNA […]

With its unique positioning in the detection of CBRN threats, Bertin Technologies has been selected, in a consortium with Thales, by the Ministry of the Armed Forces for the upstream research market “Platform for the Integration of Innovative Technologies in the Domain of Biological and Chemical Analysis “(PI ABC), which aims to structure, in the […]

The European Union aims to protect the environment, through several programs like LIFE+, which was created in 2014. This program supports INSPIRE (Innovative sorting process recycling), a project whose mission is to develop solutions regarding the sorting of black polymers, in order to enhance Europe recycling rate. Waste management is the main concern in this […]

Sample preparation is an essential step to secure the success of biological studies. Tissue homogenizers have proven to be more efficient than standard methods, and Bertin Instruments’ Precellys, according to its users, is said to be one of the best ever conceived.            François d’Hubert 11 years after Bertin Technologies designed […]

Since 1985, October rhymes with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The goal of this campaign is to sensitize the public about this pathology and to raise funds to help the cancer research. It also provides support for the women and men suffering from this disease. Although this movement originally came from the United States, it is […]

Lipids play a structural role in organisms, forming cells and organelles’ membranes. Not only do they store energy, but recent studies also showed their role as first and second messengers in signal transduction. As they are implicated in widespread pathologies such as cancer or inflammation, they have become a major concern for the scientific community. […]

Endocrine disruptors (EDC) can provoke endocrine system dysfunctions and consequently population decline, which could lead to long term ecosystem’s jeopardy. It is then crucial to study them thoroughly. A team of scientists aimed to study the impact of the CLD – an insecticide which was widely used in French West Indies until 1993 – on […]
