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.

As the summer season approaches, interest in swimming in the sea, lakes and rivers continues to grow. Yet behind water that appears clear can hide invisible microbiological hazards, posing a real risk to public health.

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.

Multi-Tissue Dissociation remains one of the most critical and complex steps in preparing samples for cell-based assays. Inconsistent performance across tissue types, low cell viability, and poor reproducibility often compromise the quality of downstream analysis. As research in cellular physiology, pathology, and regenerative medicine becomes increasingly sophisticated, achieving reliable and standardized tissue processing is more […]

Airborne viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 represent a major challenge in healthcare, veterinary, and industrial settings. Effective air sampling is essential for early detection and risk mitigation. To support this need, an independent laboratory has compared the performance of Coriolis Compact and Coriolis+ using the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA5 variant in a controlled 20 m³ test chamber. […]

In 2025, Precellys celebrates 20 years of innovation in sample preparation and homogenization. Since its creation, it has established itself as a trusted solution in diverse fields such as pharmaceutical research, forensics, environmental analysis, and cosmetics.  From the very beginning, Precellys was designed to meet a fundamental laboratory need: efficiently homogenizing samples while ensuring reliability […]

Ghrelin, widely recognized as the hunger hormone, is now under the spotlight for its role in mental health. Recent studies suggest that this metabolic signal may influence mood, especially in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD). This connection between ghrelin and emotional states reveals new possibilities for understanding the gut-brain axis. Ghrelin levels rise during fasting […]

Microplastics are not just contaminating oceans—they are also present in the air we breathe. However, detecting and quantifying these invisible particles remains a major scientific challenge. A recent study by Dimitri D. Deheyn, Joe Ayesu, The Or Foundation, and Branson Skinner at the Kantamanto market in Accra, Ghana, revealed an alarming concentration of 500 airborne […]

How to optimize bone sample preparation for metabolomics You know how crucial it is to reveal the hidden biochemical signatures in bone samples to unlock mysteries about past lifestyles and environmental exposures. Yet, complex bone matrices often lead to challenges that risk compromising your valuable material. Preserve sample integrity with advanced homogenization Precellys Evolution Touch […]
