Environmental control
Study skin under different environmental conditions
Environmental climate, including temperature and humidity, significantly impacts skin function and health. Maintaining skin homeostasis, including a normal barrier in varying climates, can require protective measures and appropriate skincare routines to protect against extreme environmental conditions.
Historically, studies on the effects of environmental conditions on skin have generally resorted to either animal studies or seasonal/workplace specific human volunteer studies. We are very pleased to be at the forefront of advancing a humanized approach to skin biology research where our core TenSkin™ technology defines the potential to replicate in vivo responses. Our multidisciplinary team features backgrounds in biology, chemistry, physics and engineering, enabling the development of innovative solutions. To facilitate meaningful in vitro climate studies using our TenSkin™ model, we have developed a unique system which exposes the skin surface in our TenSkin™ model to defined environmental conditions while isolating the culture media and dermal side of the tissue, retaining standard culture conditions (e.g., temperature, pH), ensuring ideal maintenance of tissue viability, thus in essence further recapitulating the in vivo physiological environment the skin routinely experiences while on the body.
Evaluate product performance or inform product development to address the skins response to harsh climate environments using our unique climate-controlled system. Combine these studies with our full range of physical barrier integrity measurement assays.
