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 […]

The Centre for Astrophysical Research of Lyon (CRAL) has selected Bertin Technologies to supply four image slicers for the HARMONI instrument, soon to be installed on the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). HARMONI (High Angular Resolution – Monolithic – Optical and Near-infrared – Integral field spectrograph) is an ultra-stable spectral observation instrument designed to cover the […]

On July 11, Bertin Winlight (a Business Unit of Bertin Technologies) had the opportunity to participate in the celebration of the first results from the DESI spectrograph, installed on the Mayall Telescope in the United States. As part of this project, Bertin manufactured, integrated, and tested 10 spectrographs in collaboration with the Laboratory of Astrophysics […]

In the event of a radiological emergency, the priority for response teams is to protect the population as well as the intervening personnel (specialists and non-specialists alike) to minimize the consequences related to ionizing radiation exposure and contamination. Bertin Technologies is responding to this need with a radioactivity detection and measurement instrument specially designed for […]

Bertin Technologies is delighted to welcome Luc GAFFET as Director of the Bertin Winlight Business Unit in charge of the optronic, Space & Big Science Market. Luc has held various management positions such as Sales and Marketing Director, Managing Director of a subsidiary, Contract Management Manager for ITER and finally Director of Big Science and Quantum […]
