LABSKIN TESTING PLATFORM <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Labskin test platform is a uniquely accurate, highly reliable solution, yielding results under real-world environments. At its core is a pioneering lab-grown full thickness human skin model that naturally supports the microbiome of human skin due to variety of features such as thick and dry stratum corneum or the presence of anti-microbial peptides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labskin comes in two sizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Labskin1.1<\/sup>: With 1.1 cm2<\/sup> surface and 12 constructs per plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Labskin4.5<\/sup>: With 4.5 cm2<\/sup> and 6 constructs per plate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Both sizes allow for testing multiple replicates to gain data for statistically significant analysis and testing various different endpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tests are carried out in state-of-the-art labs by experts on living skin tissue \u2013 that can be populated by natural skin microflora or bespoke consortia\u2013 with the ability for data being monitored in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
