Skin testing technology for R&D by Courage & Khazaka

The latest developments include:
–    The DandruffMeter is a unique device to assess dandruff in size and quantity in 9 different categories. It is a convenient tool for research of hair care products and their efficacy testing.
–    The Invitro Tewameter® is a probe for the TEWL measurement offering all benefits of the Tewameter®. It is perfectly suited to fit onto a Franz cell without needing further adapters. This offers the unique possibility to express the measured in-vitro TEWL-value in g/h/m².

 Many parameters on the skin can be assessed such as moisture, sebum, pH value, the quality of the barrier function by transepidermal waterloss measurements, skin elasticity in different measurement approaches, skin colour as well as melanin and erythema, the gloss of skin & hair and skin topography parameters. The Multi Probe Adapter MPA is modular so that the probes can be chosen according to the individual requirements.
