SKIN/NAIL MODEL SUBSTRATES

VITRO-SKIN^® is an advanced testing substrate that effectively mimics the surface properties of human skin. It has been formulated to have topography, pH, critical surface tension and ionic strength that is similar to human skin.

VITRO-CORNEUM^® has been formulated to mimic the properties of human stratum corneum. Like human stratum corneum, the visco-elastic properties of VITRO-CORNEUM^® change dramatically with changes in hydration.

VITRO-NAILS^® contains components that have been optimized to mimic the wetting properties, thickness and flexibility of human fingernails.
