The analysis of nail clippings is a great alternative to hair analysis. They provide up to 6 months of drug usage history and are easily collected for testing. A proper sample preparation protocol is critical for drug analysis workflows. The quality and reproducibility of the drug extraction can strongly influence the results. The 3D-beating technology […]

Mycology is a science that focuses on the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties and the effects they might have on humans. Fungi can form numerous structures, including mold.  Molds are microscopic fungi found in different environments: air, soil, plants, animals, and humans. They are associated with a high level of moisture. […]

The experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model is frequently used to identify new drug targets for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), due to its similar immunological and clinical features. While there are several different disease courses of MS, EAE models can reflect some of the different clinical manifestations. For instance, MOG-induced EAE in C57BL/6J mice […]

20-Hydroxyecdysone (20-HE) is known as the insect moulting hormone. It is part of the ecdysteroids family. Combined with the juvenile hormone (JH), 20-HE plays a key role in the growth, development, metamorphosis, and reproduction of arthropods (i.e. invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, arachnids, etc.). Little is known about the function of ecdysteroids in vertebrates. There […]

The Coriolis range proposes innovative air samplers that collect biological particles in the air and offers new perspectives for the control of airborne contamination. The Coriolis range is composed of two powerful air samplers – Coriolis Micro and Coriolis Compact. The Coriolis Micro is designed for quality control of biocontaminations in environmental research, fundamental research […]

In 2002, Bertin Technologies’ sustainable partnership with LYNRED was established through the integration of the ULIS microbolometer sensors into the Second Sight MS, a chemical gas cloud detector. Since then, LYNRED supplies Bertin technologies with high-quality, intelligent sensors manufactured in France. First, LYNRED is a global leader in the design and production of high-quality infrared […]

Sample preparation is critical to master molecule extraction from biological samples. Bertin Technologies offers efficient and flexible Precellys tissue homogenizers for grinding any samples prior to analysis. The Precellys range allows you to prepare samples in full safety and without cross-contamination, for both routine applications and R&D projects. Experience the safety and efficiency of the […]

Recently, there has been a growing interest in Cannabis sativa L. (C. sativa) thanks to the legalization of its use in some countries. Cannabis sativa plants can produce several compounds of interest, among which ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is being increasingly researched for its various alleged health benefits as a food additive. For […]

Stem cells can develop into multiple cell types through a process called differentiation. The cellular form of prion protein (PrPC) has been reported to be involved in various cellular pathways and could also have a role in the differentiation of stem cells into neurons. Several studies have shown that the prion protein PrPC may be […]
