Bertin TechnologiesBioreagent & Bioanalytical Tools

With over 30 years of experience, Bertin’s bioreagent department provides market-leading technology in biomarker assay kit development, production and distribution for life science laboratories.

Biomarkers can be used to determine the efficiency and toxicity of new molecules and drugs. With over 40 references of assay kits (ELISA, EIA, enzymatic) and 240 references of antibodies (monoclonal and polyclonal), Bertin Bioreagent truly offers the optimal analytical tools, backed by worldwide scientific recognition.

Bertin’s bioanalytical tools target biomarkers involved in various fields, including obesity, diabetes, pain, inflammation, and endocrinology. The product range also includes necessary pre-analytical tools and biochemicals to collect and pre-treat samples for future analysis.

Pre-Analytical Tools – Take Care Of Your Samples

Often overlooked due to variability, the pre-analytical phase is mandatory in clinical applications and is recognised by the diagnostic field as part of the process that should be monitored. Underestimating the pre-analytical phase in research, particularly for new biomarkers, can lead to biased results.

Bertin Bioreagent offers pre-analytical tools to protect biomarkers before analysis, providing the optimal solution for users of assay kits. These tools contain antioxidants or specific anti-protease or inhibitors, i.e., appropriate biochemicals to secure your sample until further assay.

Benefits of Choosing Pre-Analytical Tools:

• A comprehensive offer of pre-analytical tools matching Bertin Bioreagent’s assay kits.
• Developed by Bertin’s scientific team, which benefits from 30 years of expertise in biomarker assay development.
• Collection vials are provided ready to use to optimise sample preparation time.

Biotoxis QPCR Detection Kit

The Biotoxis all-in-one qPCR detection kit offers highly sensitive, rapid identification of the three primary biological warfare agents: B. anthracis (anthrax), Y. pestis (plague), and F. tularensis (tularemia). Unique for detecting all three in a single reaction, Biotoxis is crucial for swift global bioterrorism response. It provides simple, reliable detection for air, water, and biological samples. 

Designed for CBRN teams, first responders, and R&D labs, it enables quick intervention. In multiplex, detection limits are:

• B. anthracis: 17 copies
• Y. pestis: 20 copies
• F. tularensis: 49 copies

Benefits of Choosing Biotoxis QPCR Detection Kit:

• Sensitive multiplex detection of 3 agents
• Easy to use; master mix, primers and probes included
• Compatible with any type of sample (air, water & biological samples)
• Stable at +4°C

Precellys Multi-Tissue Dissociation Kit

The Precellys Multi-Tissue Dissociation Kit by Bertin Technologies is an innovative, patented solution for obtaining viable single cells from biological samples for research. It excels at delivering high-quality single cells from complex tissues like mouse spleen, liver, lung, heart, and thymus.

This kit facilitates downstream single-cell analysis, such as flow cytometry or NGS, by utilising “bead-shearing” technology in conjunction with Precellys Evolution and Precellys Evolution Touch homogenisers. This method guarantees a high yield of viable single cells. Development studies have shown that for the most common tissue types, over 80% of isolated cells remain viable. Furthermore, minimised residual debris simplifies the subsequent analysis and identification of the cell population of interest.

Benefits of Choosing Biotoxis QPCR Detection Kit:

• High yield of viable individual cells
• Reproducible results
• Optimal cell viability
• Maximum cell purity
• Ease of use
• Versatile kit, compatible with a variety of tissues
