What if viruses could travel around the world… simply carried by the wind? Invisible to the naked eye, this phenomenon is very real. Viruses circulate through the atmosphere, traveling thousands of kilometers, crossing oceans and continents to reach some of the most remote regions on Earth, such as sub-Antarctic South Georgia. A reality that challenges our understanding of ecosystems and highlights just how interconnected they are on a global scale.

In a world where uncertainty and health and security threats are constantly on the rise, risk prevention has become an essential priority. Major events are particularly vulnerable to various types of risks, including radiological ones. To address growing concerns regarding nuclear safety and the management of radioactive contamination risks, certain stakeholders have adopted tailored safety […]

For the past two years, the Bertin Technologies Group has been carrying out initiatives to assist wounded service members, with the aim of supporting their transition to civilian life and honoring their past service, particularly through the recruitment and support of committed athletes. Today, Bertin Technologies is taking a new step forward by supporting the […]

In lipidomics studies, data quality depends first and foremost on sample integrity. Yet lipids are among the biomolecules most susceptible to oxidation. From the moment of collection, natural reactions can alter their composition, creating discrepancies between the sample’s true biological state and the data ultimately obtained during analysis. This early degradation is mainly driven by free radicals present in the blood. Even before sample preparation or storage, these highly reactive molecules can affect certain lipid species and generate artifacts that may influence quantification and data interpretation. For laboratories working in metabolism, inflammation, cardiovascular research, or neuroscience, controlling this phenomenon is a critical challenge.

Pathogens represent a constant threat to aquaculture operations and can significantly impact fish health, production performance, and farm profitability. In Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), where water is continuously reused to optimize resources and farming conditions, early virus detection is essential to protect stock health, limit the risk of pathogen spread, and strengthen facility biosecurity.

Prion disease research is no longer limited to traditional models such as mice and hamsters. Today, studies and surveillance programmes for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) also involve cattle, small ruminants, cervids and camelids.
This diversification raises an important question: will your antibody still recognise its target when you switch animal models?The anti-PrP monoclonal antibodies SAF32 (A03202) and Sha31 (A03213) provide a practical answer. In the published studies reviewed, these two clones have been used to detect the PrP protein in 10 species belonging to 5 mammalian orders, ranging from primates to marsupials (1-12).

At Bertin Technologies, talent is given room to grow across projects, disciplines, and borders. Victor Ahlund’s journey is a perfect illustration of that. Victor joined the Bertin Group as a part-time employee while still completing his engineering studies at Bertin Exensor, our Swedish subsidiary specialized in unattended ground sensor systems. What started as support on […]

Just like notebooks and pens belong on every school supply list, some lysing kits are simply essential in the laboratory. Every sample is unique, and choosing the right lysing kit is key to achieving efficient homogenization and reliable results. Whether you’re working on DNA, RNA, protein, or metabolite extraction, Precellys® offers a comprehensive range of […]

Producing faster and in mass quantities is a strategic priority for defence manufacturers. Bertin Winlight is no exception to this rule, and this translates into significant challenges in increasing production rates, such as with our CamSight product line. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes video, our Sales Manager Alexandra Foureau takes you inside our manufacturing facility to […]

Sample preparation is a critical step in molecular biology, especially when working with fibrous, elastic, or mineralized samples. These complex matrices can be difficult to homogenize and may put extraction workflows to the test.
