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 […]

Detecting airborne pathogens is crucial for environmental monitoring and public health. A recent study evaluated the performance of Bertin Technologies’ Coriolis Micro air sampler combined with Promega’s Maxwell® RSC Enviro Total Nucleic Acid Kit for the extraction and purification of nucleic acids from air samples. The results demonstrated the effective detection of viruses and bacteria, including SARS-CoV-2 and […]

The dissociation of mouse heart tissue into single cells is a crucial step in many biomedical investigations. However, obtaining viable cells remains a challenge. Bertin Technologies’ Precellys multi-tissue dissociation kit, combined with the Precellys Evolution Touch, offers an effective solution to this problem. Our recent application note demonstrated a cell viability rate of 87.35%, proving […]

Researchers have made some fascinating discoveries about the treatment of migraine. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has long been associated with the development of migraine. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the CGRP pathway, including erenumab, galcanezumab and fremanezumab, have shown promise in clinical trials and real-life studies. Initially, the European Headache Federation recommended treatment with CGRP(-R) mAbs […]

Atmospheric boundary level (ABL) is the lowest part of the atmosphere that is highly influenced by its contact with the surface of the planet. The diverse microorganisms found in the ABL are continuously aerosolized and dispersed from surface sources. Knowledge of microbial diversity in the ABL is crucial as it can be potentially dangerous for […]

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is known for its anti-inflammatory effects and is commonly used to treat auto-immune and systemic inflammatory diseases. Basophils are a type of white blood cells that are responsible for inflammatory reactions during the immune response and produce inflammatory mediators such as histamine and serotonin. Recently, it has been reported that, the anti-inflammatory […]

Micro RNAs are small naturally occurring non-coding ribonucleic acids, with sizes between 18 and 40 nucleotides (nts). Found in plants, animals and viruses, they have been proven to play a significant role in RNA silencing and the regulation of gene expression. As a result, interest in smaller RNA species, such as miRNA, has increased. In […]

Following the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, French authorities decided to equip air quality monitoring networks near nuclear power plants with a reliable and independent radioactive measurement system. In 2015, the question of replacing the air monitoring beacons arose. The Hauts-de-France Region and the Urban Community of Dunkirk wanted Atmo Hauts-de-France to take on this case. […]

Considering previous nuclear disasters in the last thirty years (Chernobyl, Fukushima), authorities had to realize that there was very low knowledge about the actual level and dispersion of radiation. Consequently after those events, many nuclear power plants and surveillance authorities had to upgrade and strengthen their measurement networks to comply with a similar catastrophe scenario. […]

Precellys solutions replace time-consuming manual grinding & preserve metabolite properties Cryogenic grinding is an efficient method for mechanic tissue disruption. Precellys transforms solid & resilient tissue samples into powder in only a few seconds, and homogenizes tissues at low temperature, preventing the chemical transformation of unstable metabolites. In this new application note, discover the best […]
