High-tech skin lab
Microarray patches perform best with a well-matched applicator. At uPATCH™, we offer advanced skin penetration testing using our skin lab. This way, we can develop the optimal applicator for your microneedles, delivering precise and effective application every time.
Realistic Skin Tension Simulation
- Our setup can stretch the skin to match the natural tension found on the human body.
Tissue Engineering for Accurate Simulation
- We have developed underlying tissue structures that replicate the muscle and fat layers of the human body. This can be customised to match specific target audiences and different parts of the body
Standardised & Reproducible Penetration Measurement
- Penetration is measured using a reproducible method that ensures clear visuals. This can give a better understanding of how your microneedles behave under variable conditions.
Universal Applicator support
- Our setup supports penetration testing with both our research-focused microneedle applicators and end-user applicators.
