Bertin Technologies has an unique offer covering the whole innovation cycle: it designs and supplies high added-value equipment and software as well as it provides consultancy and engineering services.
Passion for innovation, industrial expertise and intellectual agility to meet demanding customers' needs are the core of Bertin Technologies' DNA.
Have a look at Bertin Technologies' major accomplishments in 2014 :
In 2014, we conducted major research and development in the field of energy efficiency, related to absorption heat pumps. This initiative allowed CNIM to acquire and successfully promote a new range of equipment and services in this area.
In a fast moving IT market, we provided specific solutions for cyber security and big data multimedia content processing.
Drawing on our success in the field of lab equipment as well as chemical, biological and nuclear detection, Bertin went one step further in late 2014 with the acquisition of Saphymo, a leading French provider of solutions for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation. As a result, Bertin has become a key player in the field of scientific instrumentation for defense, nuclear, environment and life science sectors.
Last but not least, by incorporating the Johnson & Johnson Santé Beauté R&D site near Bordeaux in early 2014, our subsidiary Bertin Pharma, has unquestionably positioned itself on the growing market of R&D services for OTC, over-the-counter drugs.
CNIM and Bertin, both deeply inspired, are moving forward together on the forefront of industrial innovation.

Our servicesOverview
Our open world has been undergoing in-depth
geopolitical, societal and economic upheavals,
requiring ever-more competitiveness and security
for businesses, people and countries. To meet those
new needs, at Bertin Technologies, we rely on the
real strengths of our DNA: passion for innovation, field
expertise of diversified technologies and agile mindset
to anticipate market trends.
In 2014, our activity grew in close synergy with our parent company, CNIM.
In particular, we conducted major research and development in the field of
energy efficiency, related to absorption heat pumps. This initiative allowed
CNIM to acquire and successfully promote a new range of equipment and
services in this area (p.4).
In a fast moving IT market, we provided specific solutions for cyber security and
big data multimedia content processing, to various customers throughout the
world. That offer is one of our priorities for growth in 2015 (p.12).
Drawing on our success in the field of lab equipment as well as chemical,
biological and nuclear detection, Bertin went one step further in late 2014
with the acquisition of Saphymo, a leading French provider of solutions for
detecting and measuring ionizing radiation. As a result, Bertin has become
a key player in the field of scientific instrumentation for defense, nuclear,
environment and life science sectors (p.8).
Last but not least, by incorporating the Johnson & Johnson Santé Beauté
R&D site near Bordeaux in early 2014, our subsidiary Bertin Pharma, has
unquestionably positioned itself on the growing market of R&D services for
OTC, over-the-counter drugs (p.14).

tomanagebiohazardous
waste from hospitals. Within the framework of funding
from the World Bank, Sterilwave®
was installed at two
hospital locations in Vietnam. The easy-to-use equipment
makes it possible to convert the waste in 30 minutes, i.e. to
bring its infectious risk down to the same level as household
waste, and reduce its volume by 80%.
When the new Precellys®
Evolution, a biological sample
homogenizer, was first launched, the American lab Leidos
was invited to test it. The Leidos research team immediately
bought the product, won over by the instrument’s
ergonomics, polyvalence and the significant reduction
in time needed for sample preparation. A consecration
all the more remarkable as it came from a BSL-4 lab, the
highest biosafety level for labs.
Bertin Corp., the American distributor of Bertin Technologies, now offers its products
directly online! The e-commerce website lets American webusers place products
distributed by Bertin Corp into their “shopping cart”. Thanks to a wish-list system,
shoppers can receive a direct quote for some pieces of higher-priced equipment. This
new tool makes it possible to place simplified orders in “real time”.

South Korea has acquired Second Sight®
, a gas detection
camera using infrared technology, for the surveillance
of major events or official buildings. The aim is to detect
clouds of threatening gas as early as possible so as to
protect the population or government members. When
put through technical benchmark testing, the camera’s
easy implementation and real-time interpretation of results
allowed Bertin to gain an advantage over competing
equipment.

Sump strainers designed and manufactured by Bertin
Technologies have been installed in the reactor core at
the new Chinese nuclear power plant (NPP) in Fuqing.
Key elements in power plant safety, sump strainers are
designed to retain the impurities circulating in the reactor
cooling circuit in case of incidents. As a result, they prevent
damage to the pumps. This project illustrates the Bertin
team’s ability to justify their rationale of design choices for
complex systems in thermohydraulic accident scenarios.
On November 19, 2014, the Fuqing 1 power plant was
commissioned, making it the 21st Chinese nuclear power
plant in operation.

What will the weather be like in 20 years? To answer that
question and improve forecasts, the European Space
Agency has gone into the active phase of the Meteosat
Third Generation (MTG) program. Thales Alenia Space
renewed its trust in Bertin for the supply of a new optical
test system. The system is intended to calibrate and qualify
measuring instruments embedded on the 6 satellites that
will be launched between 2018 and 2037.
After several years of development and testing, HoverEye-
EX®
passed the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC)
certification phase with flying colors. It is currently the

8. Like medication, beauty products call for innovation and
effectiveness that only science can provide.
Drawing on the skills acquired in the pharmaceutical
industry, Bertin Pharma is applying its expertise to
cosmetics: innovative formulation of a wide range of textures
and sensorial attributes, allergic response assessment, skin
penetration improvement, or even higher effectiveness
thanks to proprietary biological models. As a result, Bertin
Pharma has successfully won several projects evaluating
the effectiveness and toxicity of candidate products for a
major cosmetic group.
Obesity and diabetes are two of the biggest health
problems of the century. Over the past 30 years, obesity
has more than doubled and now concerns 1.5 billion
adults in the world. As such, Bertin Pharma was the first
European company to market ghrelin assay kits, known
as the “hunger hormone”, a determining factor in the
treatment of many diseases related to weight. The ready-
to-use kits for measuring ghrelin have been available
since 2014 in a range of formats. They are now available
for several species including humans, rats, mice, pigs and
dogs, regardless of how the blood is collected.
