After several months of meticulous design and assembly, Bertin Winlight has successfully completed the Quadruple Mach–Zehnder (QMZ) destined for ONERA (the French Aerospace Lab). The QMZ is a monolithic interferometer operating in the ultraviolet range, at 343 and 355 nanometers. It is made up of silica components manufactured at the Bertin Winlight site in Pertuis, […]

Between collection and analysis, biological samples undergo multiple stress factors that can alter their composition. Lipids are especially vulnerable: in standard tubes, free radicals can react with lipid species and trigger peroxidation, generating artifacts that compromise quantitative accuracy. The infographic below illustrates this phenomenon. In a regular tube, free radicals present in the blood interact […]

When it comes to homogenization, most laboratories focus on optimizing cycle times or adjusting bead types. However, there’s a fundamental factor that is often overlooked: tube design. In generic homogenization tubes, inactive zones can form where beads lose momentum and fail to impact the sample effectively. This can force laboratories to run longer protocols while […]
