The rise of fentanyl and its analogs has led to a major public health crisis, making reliable detection methods essential for toxicology labs. Our latest Application Note presents an optimized workflow for analyzing synthetic opioids in hair samples, using the Precellys homogenizer and Bertin’s lysing kit. A Major Analytical Challenge Fentanyl is 50 times more […]

Tissue dissociation is a key step in many research areas. When working with complex tissues, it is essential to maintain cell viability while ensuring reliable results. This is particularly important for studies such as single-cell analysis, cell biology, and drug discovery. To assess performance, we recently compared the Precellys Multi-Tissue Dissociation Kit with the market […]

For researchers studying autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), accessing high-quality protein samples is essential for uncovering disease mechanisms and exploring therapeutic targets. The challenge lies in developing protocols that provide consistent and reproducible results while preserving sample integrity. The Precellys Evolution Touch tissue homogenizer has proven to be a reliable tool for addressing these needs. […]

Whether you’re working with metabolomics, enzymatic activity, or DNA extraction, Precellys ensures that every step of your research is streamlined, reliable, and ready for success.   Appetizer:optimize metabolomic studies from […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Bertin Instruments is pleased to present Cryolys Evolution, the new cooling system specially adapted for Precellys Evolution tissue homogenizer. This new version of Cryolys is installed on the top of Bertin’s Precellys Evolution homogenizer without any air pipe or power cable – it is powered directly through the Precellys unit. End-users may control both devices […]

Bertin Instruments will be attending Experimental Biology to showcase the InCellis and its latest innovations in the Precellys product range in booth #1238 at the McCormick Place Convention Center (West Building) in Chicago, from 22 to 26 April 2017. This annual meeting of six societies comprised of more than 14,000 scientists and 50 guest societies focuses on […]

Worldwide obesity is a growing health problem, linked with an increased risk of associated chronic disease. Today, the World Health Organization is even speaking “about – globesity – and if immediate action is not taken, millions will suffer from an array of serious health disorders”. As the general public and international authorities slowly start to […]
