We are excited to announce that our laboratory for skin penetration test, which is situated in the same building as our new office in Leiden BioScience Park, is operational. This penetration measurement setup is designed to provide accurate and reproducible test results for ex-vivo human or ex-vivo pig skin.
Key Features of Our Skin Penetration Test Setup:
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 customized to match specific target audiences and different parts of the body
Standardized & 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.
- 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
With these capabilities, we can conduct precise skin penetration tests for our clients, ensuring high-quality insights into penetration characteristics and corresponding applicator design criteria.
