During a major international soccer tournament, Bertin Nuclear deployed its environmental radiological monitoring system to ensure continuous surveillance of event sites, addressing the rare but real risk of radiological threats. The IAEA actively encourages host countries to deploy radiological detection and monitoring capabilities.

At the heart of the system is the GammaTRACER XL2 probe, a field-proven instrument that provides continuous, real-time measurement and rec

Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells in human blood and central to innate immunity, employing mechanisms such as NET formation to trap and eliminate pathogens.

Labeling neutrophils without altering their function has been challenging; many existing methods activate neutrophils, biasing downstream analyses. Bertin Bioreagent’s Myelotracker uses a peptide-based approach that targets lactoferrin, a neutrophil-associated protein, to achieve precise and selective labeling wh

Respiratory allergies are today a major public health issue.

Pollen and spore counts are essential for allergists and people living with allergies, representing a key metric for monitoring pollen seasons. However, they do not always fully explain the severity of observed symptoms.

Air allergenicity depends on the amount of allergens that are present and inhaled, particularly during peak pollination when pollen grains fragment and release allergeni

As the summer season approaches, monitoring bathing water quality becomes a critical public health and operational priority. Increased attendance at beaches, lakes, and rivers elevates the risk of bacteriological contamination, requiring vigilant oversight by water quality authorities and analytical laboratories. Reliable results with short turnaround times are essential to support timely public health decisions.

Regulatory context: Bacterial indicators such as E. coli

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is among the most prevalent inherited kidney disorders, characterized by progressive renal cyst formation and potential progression to kidney failure. Chromatin accessibility profiling by ATAC-seq has become a key tool for elucidating epigenetic regulation in ADPKD, but data quality depends on upstream nuclei preparation in kidney tissue, where intrinsic complexity can introduce variability and batch effects if not properly controlled.

The Coriolis Compact is a lightweight, battery-operated air sampler designed to capture bioaerosols directly in the environment, delivering samples fully compatible with PCR, culture, and sequencing workflows, with no liquid media required on-site.

Independent validations span four distinct environments: SARS-CoV-2 detection in indoor settings, H5N8 avian influenza monitoring on poultry farms, forensic DNA evidence collection in Sexual Assault Referral Centres, and microbial air surveil

Yale University researchers validated a Precellys Evolution Touch based homogenization workflow that yields high-integrity, sequencing-ready RNA from both normal and cystic kidney tissue, enabling scalable, consistent RNA-Seq studies in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

ADPKD affects about 12 million people globally and currently has no cure, making reliable RNA extraction a non negotiable first step to understand molecular

Summer is the perfect time to slow down, explore, and learn something unexpected. Whether you are relaxing by the sea or simply curious about it, our latest summer readings offer fresh insights into how the ocean responds to climate change. These stories connect food, ecosystems, and the sky in surprising ways. They are not only scientific discoveries, but they are also meaningful reflections on how marine life is adapting t
