Late June 2020, Bertin Technologies successfully supplied the Hinkley Point C Project – a joint-venture between EDF and China General Nuclear Power Group – with a first batch of 4 filtration devices named “trash racks” to equip Hinkley Point C, the first new nuclear power station to be in the United-Kingdom for a generation. In […]

The advent of next-generation sequencing techniques (NGS) has revolutionized the landscape of biology, allowing scientists to deepen their understanding of many diseases such as cancer. NGS workflows generally begin with a sample preparation step, whose success is crucial to ensure reliable sequencing results. An efficient and uniform homogenization is needed to obtain an adequate quantity […]

On July 30, 2020, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA successfully launched both Perseverance robotic rover and Ingenuity helicopter using an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Landing is planned for February 18, 2021, in Mars’ Jezero crater, following a 687-day mission. About the size of a car, this new-generation […]
