We don't just develop Microneedle Applicators

We offer expertise on insertion characteristics to achieve the best penetration efficiency for your technology.

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. 

Applicator support

  • Impact Velocity Testing with the uPATCH™ CHECK Velocity Research Applicator 
  • Pressing Force Testing with the uPATCH™ CHECK Pressing Force Research Applicator 
  • Initial microneedle characteristics testing with he uPATCH™ CHECK Basic Research Applicator

Our technology, your brand

Customizable design

At uPATCH™, we believe collaboration drives success. That's why our applicator design is fully customizable to meet your specific needs. Let's work together using our patented applicator technology to create the perfect microneedle applicator for you.

All services we provide 

R&D Services

We offer Research and Development advice/support for companies that focus on microneedle-related research and/ or development. This includes designing and developing devices/tools intended for microneedle research.

Pressing Force Tests

We offer controlled pressing force validation to verify whether the pressing force threshold of the uPATCH ONE is enough to guarantee full penetration of the microneedles.


Velocity Tests

In this research, the velocity is controlled and tested to validate if the Impact Force that the applicator will create is enough to guarantee sufficient penetration for your microneedles.
