News for Sample preparation homogenizers

Skin is very fibrous and elastic, and efficient RNA extraction from this tissue can be very difficult. It is therefore crucial to use a homogenizer that can ensure high RNA yields without overheating the samples. The Precellys® 24 Touch tissue homogenizer was able to efficiently homogenize finely cut dog skin without heating the samples. As […]

The Institute of Cancer Research is an English public research institute founded in 1909 and known for a number of breakthrough cancer discoveries. It has analyzed ex vivo tumor tissues to study the gene expression of breast tumors and their metastases. Breast cancer xenografts from different cell lines (MDA-MB-435 and GI-101) as well as their […]

Since its launch, the Precellys Emulsion kit has been increasingly used to generate injectable antigen or antibody emulsions for research on auto-immune diseases. Emulsions are viscous substances used for a wide array of products, from the food industry to the biomedical field. In biological and biomedical applications, adjuvants are substances injected along with an antigen […]

Bertin Instruments offers efficient and flexible Precellys tissue homogenizers for grinding any samples prior to analysis. Being a worldwide reference in tissue homogenization, Precellys has already proven its efficiency to 30,000+ scientists who use our solution on all types of samples. Discover below the last three comments about Precellys.   Application Area: Disease testing (Tick-borne […]

Since its launch in 2020, the Precellys Emulsion kit has been increasingly used to generate injectable antigen or antibody emulsions for research on auto-immune diseases. Discover the Top 2 open source research papers that Floriane Cohen, our Precellys Field Application Scientist, has selected for the optimization of the emulsion preparation protocols.   Standardization of Antigen-Emulsion […]

The Precellys® Metal tube range ensures the homogenization of the hardest samples, while being efficient and safe. Combined with the Precellys beads, they offer the best performance. The metals tubes are very resistant and allow to grind samples such as bones and teeth.  Their format is also adapted to cryogrinding/snap freezing techniques making them compatible […]

Bertin’s field application scientist Mariana Gaboriau has prepared a selection of articles dedicated to emulsion preparation using Precellys tissue homogenizers and the Precellys emulsion kit. A research article on the standardization of antigen-emulsion preparations for the induction of autoimmune disease models: experimental autoimmune encephalitis, collagen II induced arthritis, antigen induced arthritis, and delayed type hypersensitivity […]

Hair testing is a convenient and non-invasive technique for the detection of many controlled drugs and drugs of abuse in forensic science. In cases where hair cannot be collected, nail testing can be a suitable alternative, as it also allows for long-term drug analysis. While many analytical methods exist for the detection of drugs in […]

Conventional protocols requiring large sample numbers from each time-point and laborious homogenization of tissues are often used to quantify hypervirulent bacteria that disseminate into the tissues. Here, we present the method of using Precellys Evolution homogenizer to speed up tissue homogenization in an efficient, safe, and consistent way to simplify bacterial quantification in tissues. This […]

Should I add protease inhibitors to the homogenization buffer for protein extraction applications? It depends on your downstream application, but protease inhibitors are often recommended to prevent protease-mediated protein degradation. Bertin’s Life Sciences team has also developed the Protein safe kits, a state-of-the-art lysing kit containing a proprietary mix of protease inhibitors. Please find more […]
