Investing in a new industrial site, expanding or modernizing it, always entails a greater or lesser degree of manageable risk. The first type of risk relates to the land project itself: budget overruns, poor workmanship, financing problems or delays in handover. A second nature lies in the ability to manufacture a product at a competitive […]

In the fourth and final application note of our “Mastering Tissue Dissociation” series, we focused on spleen tissue dissociation to isolate single cells. Using spleen samples from mice housed in standard conditions (UAR BioMedTech Facilities), we achieved a cell viability rate of 87.12%. This method preserves cell integrity, providing high-quality suspensions for spleen research. Bertin […]

Every year, radiological incidents take their toll on the recycling industry, leading to considerable health risks and treatment costs. In this context, ensuring radiological safety is of paramount importance. At Bertin Instruments, we understand the importance and the stakes for the industry, and we offer advanced radiological detection solutions that meet the most stringent control […]

Bertin Winlight, a Bertin Technologies business unit, is to contribute to the international LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) mission announced by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2017. As part of this project, Bertin Winlight will be responsible for supplying the complex Beams Simulator optical system for ground-based equipment. The LISA mission, scheduled for launch […]

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 […]
