Discover groundbreaking research on the effects of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) micro- and nanoplastic particles on human brain vascular pericytes. This study delves into how these particles influence mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and gene expression related to oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and mitochondrial functionality. Findings reveal significant insights into the cellular responses to plastic pollution, highlighting potential […]

Maximizing protein extraction efficiency is a critical step in biological research. A recent study compared two popular methods: Precellys Evolution Touch with its advanced 3D bead-beating technology and the conventional sonication technique. Tested on fresh frozen pig liver biopsies, the results showed that the Precellys Evolution significantly outperformed sonication, delivering higher protein yields in less […]

The Coriolis Compact, an advanced device for microbial air monitoring aboard the International Space Station (ISS), has recently undergone evaluation. This state-of-the-art tool is poised to transform how microbial monitoring is conducted in the ISS’s confined environment, which is essential for ensuring astronaut health during long-term missions. Previously, air monitoring on the ISS relied on […]

The Centre for Astrophysical Research of Lyon (CRAL) has selected Bertin Technologies to supply four image slicers for the HARMONI instrument, soon to be installed on the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). HARMONI (High Angular Resolution – Monolithic – Optical and Near-infrared – Integral field spectrograph) is an ultra-stable spectral observation instrument designed to cover the […]

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 […]

On July 11, Bertin Winlight (a Business Unit of Bertin Technologies) had the opportunity to participate in the celebration of the first results from the DESI spectrograph, installed on the Mayall Telescope in the United States. As part of this project, Bertin manufactured, integrated, and tested 10 spectrographs in collaboration with the Laboratory of Astrophysics […]

Bertin Technologies, a European industrial group dedicated to high-end instrumentation for critical and scientific applications, today announced the acquisition of Grenoble-based ALPAO, one of the world leaders in adaptive optics.  ALPAO will henceforth be known as Bertin Alpao. On July 11, 2024, the Bertin Technologies group finalized the acquisition of the Grenoble-based company, a pioneer […]

In the event of a radiological emergency, the priority for response teams is to protect the population as well as the intervening personnel (specialists and non-specialists alike) to minimize the consequences related to ionizing radiation exposure and contamination. Bertin Technologies is responding to this need with a radioactivity detection and measurement instrument specially designed for […]
