20-Hydroxyecdysone (20-HE) is known as the insect moulting hormone. It is part of the ecdysteroids family. Combined with the juvenile hormone (JH), 20-HE plays a key role in the growth, development, metamorphosis, and reproduction of arthropods (i.e. invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, arachnids, etc.). Little is known about the function of ecdysteroids in vertebrates. There […]

The Coriolis range proposes innovative air samplers that collect biological particles in the air and offers new perspectives for the control of airborne contamination. The Coriolis range is composed of two powerful air samplers – Coriolis Micro and Coriolis Compact. The Coriolis Micro is designed for quality control of biocontaminations in environmental research, fundamental research […]

In 2002, Bertin Technologies’ sustainable partnership with LYNRED was established through the integration of the ULIS microbolometer sensors into the Second Sight MS, a chemical gas cloud detector. Since then, LYNRED supplies Bertin technologies with high-quality, intelligent sensors manufactured in France. First, LYNRED is a global leader in the design and production of high-quality infrared […]

Bertin Technologies offers efficient and flexible Precellys tissue homogenizers for grinding any samples prior to analysis. The Precellys range allows you to prepare samples in full safety and without cross-contamination, for both routine applications and R&D projects. Experience the safety and efficiency of the […]

Recently, there has been a growing interest in Cannabis sativa L. (C. sativa) thanks to the legalization of its use in some countries. Cannabis sativa plants can produce several compounds of interest, among which Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is being increasingly researched for its various alleged health benefits as a food additive. For […]

Stem cells can develop into multiple cell types through a process called differentiation. The cellular form of prion protein (PrPC) has been reported to be involved in various cellular pathways and could also have a role in the differentiation of stem cells into neurons. Several studies have shown that the prion protein PrPC may be […]

Skin is very fibrous and elastic, and efficient RNA extraction from this tissue can be very difficult. It is therefore crucial to use a homogenizer that can ensure high RNA yields without overheating the samples. The Precellys® 24 Touch tissue homogenizer was able to efficiently homogenize finely cut dog skin without heating the samples. As […]

SPIE Photonics West Exhibition is an internationally recognized event for suppliers of the best solutions, components, instruments, and support systems for the optical and photonics industry. […]

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition arising from genetic and environmental factors. It is characterized by a group of symptoms affecting the digestive system, including abdominal discomfort and altered bowel movements. Little is known about the environmental triggers for IBS. The symptoms might result from an altered immune response. Aluminum is a common […]
