Air Samplers

Respiratory allergies are today a major public health issue.
Pollen and spore counts are essential for allergists and people living with allergies, as they represent a key indicator for monitoring pollen seasons. However, they do not always fully explain the actual severity of symptoms observed.

Microplastics are no longer confined to oceans and soils; they also circulate in the air we breathe every day. Released in particular from synthetic textiles during handling, wear, or degradation, these particles — often invisible to the naked eye — can remain suspended for long periods and be inhaled on a daily basis.

Indoor air quality plays a decisive role in both animal and human health in livestock production. Farming activities and veterinary environments generate large amounts of airborne microorganisms that can spread through the air. This mode of transmission is frequently associated with the emergence and spread of highly infectious diseases.

Successfully tested on SARS-CoV-2, the Coriolis Compact confirms its ability to deliver high-quality virus air sampling, even in challenging conditions. Airborne viruses are a growing public health concern, and monitoring their presence in real environments requires tools that are both reliable and easy to deploy. Coriolis Compact has recently been tested by the independent lab […]

In the fourth and final application note of our “Mastering Tissue Dissociation” series, we focused on spleen tissue dissociation to isolate single cells. Using spleen samples from mice housed in standard conditions (UAR BioMedTech Facilities), we achieved a cell viability rate of 87.12%. This method preserves cell integrity, providing high-quality suspensions for spleen research. Bertin […]

The Coriolis air sampler is designed to offer flexibility for microbiological air sampling, whether indoors or outdoors. Its battery-powered functionality allows for reliable sampling in various environments, but like any battery-operated equipment, it requires certain practices to maintain optimal battery performance over time. Here are some key tips for prolonging your Coriolis µ battery life […]

In the third application note of our “Mastering Tissue Dissociation” series, we explored liver tissue dissociation to isolate single cells. Using liver samples from mice housed in standard conditions (UAR BioMedTech Facilities), we achieved a cell viability rate of 84.35%. This method ensures cell integrity, providing high-quality suspensions for liver research. Bertin Technologies’ Precellys Multi […]

Monitoring airborne pathogens in equine environments is key to preventing the spread of diseases such as equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1), which can cause serious health issues. Bertin Technologies’ Coriolis Compact Air Sampler is a practical solution for identifying respiratory viruses in horse barns. In a recent study, the Coriolis Compact detected EHV-1 in 75% of subclinical […]

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 Bertin Instruments team will showcase the Coriolis air monitoring equipment at Contaminexpo, the leading event in contamination control and clean rooms. Our booth #C21 will be located in Hall 6 of the Paris Exhibition Centre, Porte de Versailles, from 28 to 30 March. This professional exhibition associated with a scientific congress brings together more […]
