The microbiome is at the heart of numerous research fields, from human health to environmental sciences. Whether characterising complex microbial communities, studying the impact of microorganisms on their environment, or monitoring bioaerosols, the quality of the results depends directly on the quality of the samples analysed.
From sample preparation to airborne microbiological monitoring, every step of the workflow presents specific challenges. Appropriate microbial lysis is essential to minimise analytical bias and ensure an accurate representation of microbial communities. Likewise, bioaerosol sampling must enable efficient recovery of airborne microorganisms, even when present at very low concentrations.
To address the challenges of microbiome analysis, Bertin Life Sciences relies on two complementary product ranges:
- Precellys®, a range of homogenisers based on 3D bead-beating technology, designed to ensure reliable and reproducible sample preparation. Combined with dedicated lysis kits and optimised protocols, Precellys systems are suitable for a wide variety of microbial communities and complex sample matrices.
- Coriolis®, a range of air samplers designed for environmental and public health monitoring, providing efficient bioaerosol collection compatible with a wide range of microbiological and molecular analysis methods.
Discover how Precellys and Coriolis solutions can help secure your workflows, improve sample representativeness, and deliver reliable and reproducible results in our new microbiome application page.
