Histamine is a molecule that plays a major role in local immune responses and acts as a neurotransmitter for the brain, spinal cord, and uterus. An increase in local histamine levels can lead capillaries to become more permeable to leucocytes and some proteins, enabling them to attack pathogens in infected tissues. Following its discovery in […]

It is confirmed: the 14th edition of CBRNe Protection Symposium will take place at Malmö, Sweden, from September 20 to 22, 2022 – an opportunity for Bertin Instruments’ sales team to present its numerous equipment for the detection and identification of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear threats, along with the GIE Defense NBC. Every three […]

The Precellys® Metal tube range ensures the homogenization of the hardest samples, while being efficient and safe. Combined with the Precellys beads, they offer the best performance. The metals tubes are very resistant and allow to grind samples such as bones and teeth.  Their format is also adapted to cryogrinding/snap freezing techniques making them compatible […]

Bertin Instruments, in partnership with Veolia Eau and Eau du Grand Lyon, have installed a robust environmental radiation monitoring system in order to protect people and the main resources of drinking water. Discover in this application note how the accuracy of SpectroTRACER Aqua continuous monitoring system allows the detection of radioactivity in rivers to prevent […]

Bertin’s field application scientist Mariana Gaboriau has prepared a selection of articles dedicated to emulsion preparation using Precellys tissue homogenizers and the Precellys emulsion kit. A research article on the standardization of antigen-emulsion preparations for the induction of autoimmune disease models: experimental autoimmune encephalitis, collagen II induced arthritis, antigen induced arthritis, and delayed type hypersensitivity […]

Summer is the perfect time to relax and learn something new. Discover Mariana Gaboriau’s, our field application scientist, selection of four articles to read on the beach or near the pool. Have nice holidays with Bertin Instruments!   This summer you are not the only one suffering from the heat : Vulnerability of honey bee […]

The recent pandemic has emphasised the risk of airborne transmission of potential pathogens in healthcare settings. The Coriolis air sampler range from Bertin Technologies however offers a good solution to these problems whether the target organisms are bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Discover the benefits the Coriolis air samplers can offer in this exclusive interview with Floriane […]

Being currently in development, 4MOST (4-meter Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope) is the new instrument destined to equip the VISTA telescope (Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) located in Chile in the Paranal desert. Focus on the implication of Winlight and the Astrophysical Research centre of Lyon (CRAL) in this […]

Bertin Technologies delivered to its partner Airbus Defense and Space the Focal Plane Assembly of the TELEO payload on-board the BADR-8 geostationary satellite for ArabSat, one of the world’s top satellite operators. TELEO is a new-generation optical communications payload demonstrator which will enable very high capacity analogue optical feeder link communication. A focal plane allows […]

Monitoring the air contamination of an environment is crucial to prevent health effects on human beings and severe diseases. In this application note, discover how the Coriolis μ can be used to detect potential pathogenic/toxigenic fungal species where their presence can be masked by other predominant ones, for example in a waste sorting plant.
