Saphymo
Created in 1952 and formerly a global leader in nuclear instrumentation, Saphymo evolved through internal growth and acquisitions to become a primary brand in the Bertin Instruments global portfolio in 2016. Its solutions, dedicated to nuclear instrumentation, offer a high level of radiation detection and measurement. Engineering, manufacturing and services are ensured by teams in France and in Europe.
Second Sight - Standoff Real-Time Gas Detector
Developed in the 2000’s and designed for the surveillance of critical industrial or public sites, Second Sight enables the remote detection of a chemical threat, the real-time visualization of a gas cloud and the triggering of appropriate safety measures. Its infrared process offers a wide and continuous field of vision (day & night). Second Sight meets the needs of the army or civil protection units in charge of threat detection (CBRN teams in the field) such as the Asian CBRN Forces.
Initially developed for defense and civil security applications, Second Sight has been adapted to IECEx hazardous area and Saudi Aramco refinery standards. It provides, in real time, complete scene visualization. In case of an alarm activation, it localizes the leakage source and the direction of the explosive gas cloud in the vicinity. To enhance safety levels on-site, Bertin provides a turnkey solution that detects and monitors explosive gas clouds.
Second Sight: Historical track record, from a field-proven gas detection solution for CBRN forces to an advanced system adapted to chemical, oil and gas safety standards
Precellys
More than 10 years of expertise in sample preparation and homogenization.
Dedicated to the highly demanding markets of forensic science, pharmaceutical R&D and even environmental or cosmetic analysis, the Precellys equipment range has won widespread global recognition from the scientific community as hard-wearing, efficient and ergonomic tools. To date, more than 750 official publications contain references to Precellys equipment.
Initially designed for BSL3 laboratories, the Precellys range was born, a family that has steadily grown year after year:
Coriolis
After 50 years of expertise in the field of aero-fluidic sciences, Bertin Instruments has acquired competencies in different application fields linked to cyclone uses. The specific application for airborne particles collection has been studied for more than 10 years and since the beginning, a lot of partnerships have been implemented:
- in defense with the DGA (French government defense and procurement agency)
- in the context of the Legionella crisis with the LHVP (Hygiene laboratory of the city of Paris)
- for pollens monitoring with the RNSA (National aerobiology monitoring network)
- for clean rooms control and especially for pharmaceutical industry
