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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
