Endocrine disruptors (EDCs) in the environment come from several origins. When they accumulate in organisms, they can lead to endocrine system dysfunctions and consequently to population decline. One such disruptor is the insecticide chlordecone (CLD). Although EDC biomarkers are well established in vertebrates, few are available in invertebrates, such as arthropods. In this application note, […]

Armenia operates one nuclear power plant located about 30km west of Yerevan, the country’s capital. To ensure the safety of the population in Armenia and beyond in the event of an incident, the European Commissioning is financially supporting Armenia in the acquisition and installation of an automatic online radiation monitoring early warning system for monitoring […]

In 2019, Bertin Technologies was awarded a contract by ITER Organization for the preliminary design of the Density Interferometer Polarimeter DIP, a complex optical system for real-time measurement of plasma density in the Tokamak. Mission accomplished: after delivering DIP’s preliminary design in 2020, our teams have just provided its final design. More information on this […]

The first case of natural SARS-CoV-2 infection in mink was reported in April 2020. Since then, more than 400 cases of human-to-mink and vice-versa transmissions have been confirmed within the European Union. Several research studies have shown that widespread circulation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus within mink farms could lead to the creation of vaccine-resistant virus […]

Radon is a radioactive gas that emanates naturally from the ground, its monitoring and surveillance are crucial for the well-being of humans and animals. In order to protect people and workers, Bertin Instruments offers accurate professional equipment for Radon monitoring. In this exclusive interview with Yoann Balliner, Radon Technical Expert at SOCOTEC Envrionnement, discover why […]

The composition and concentration of bioaerosols in the air is a critical parameter for the welfare of animals and humans. Monitoring bioaerosols by air sampling is one of the most efficient methods available. Nonetheless, the detection of DNA from bioaerosols can be challenging without the appropriate tools and the optimization of sampling and detection protocols. […]

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease affecting cervids. It is one of the only spongiform encephalopathy that is environmentally transmitted. CWD prions are released into the environment either through carcasses or through biological fluids. Soils have been reported to play a major role in horizontal CWD transmission, however little is known about […]

From November 2 to 5, 2022, the Optronics and CBRN sales teams of Bertin Technologies will participate in the Indo Defence Expo & Forum, to be held at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, in Indonesia. Our optronic solutions will be showcased on the stand of our local partner MJA-Tech (No. AP105), whereas our instruments for CBRN threat […]

Cemeteries can be reservoirs of pathogenic microorganisms due to organic matter decomposition. The burial of human bodies allows corpses to decompose while reducing the risk of posing danger to human health. However, the World Health Organization has reported potential impacts of cemeteries on human health by focusing on soil decomposition and water contamination. So far […]
