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 […]

With more than several thousand publications in under two years, CRISPR-Cas9 revolutionized the science world and more particularly cellular and molecular biology. CRISPR-Cas9 technology allows genetic editing through mutation. For example, this leads to the generation of Knock-In or Knock-Out mice for animal studies [1]. Introducing mutation requires some controls to check the validity and […]
