D-Skin Diffusion cell : for high quality and completely representative studies
PROVISKIN also provides protocol development for skin permeation tests recreating real conditions of use of your products using the D-Skin cell. Developed in partnership with Franche-Comté’s regional university hospital and Centre for Studies and Research on tegument (CERT), D-skin is a patented multifunctional diffusion cell. It allows exogenous factors to be taken into account, which up until now have been overlooked in percutaneous absorption studies: the impact of humidity rates and external temperatures, as well as movement simulation through automating physical constraints (e.g. massage and friction). The D-Skin cell can also be studied in a controlled atmosphere with a mixture of gazes (e.g. CO2, O2 and N2).
The principle of D-Skin diffusion cell has been demonstrated and validated during hospital-based studies and has been published in Skin Research and Technology newspaper in 2014. (Lboutounne et al. 2014) .
