AquaFlux TEWL Measurement (Trans Epidermal Water Loss)

TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss) is the process of liquid water diffusing through the Stratum Corneum (SC), from the wet Viable Epidermis to the dry skin surface. The TEWL water evaporates into the surrounding air, maintaining a dry skin surface.

When it comes to accurate and fast TEWL measurements for skin research, clinical studies, and efficacy studies, AquaFlux™ stands out as the top choice. It outperforms competitors in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, repeatability, reproducibility, and versatility. AquaFlux™ overcomes challenges associated with open and closed-chamber methods through its revolutionary condenser technology, continuously removing water vapor by converting it to ice, guaranteeing accurate and precise measurements.

Decades of numerous studies have consistently supported the exceptional performance of AquaFlux™, making it the preferred instrument for professionals in the skincare and scientific communities. Its unique patented technology has proven instrumental in advancing research and enhancing understanding.

Unlock the potential of your studies with AquaFlux™ and revolutionize your understanding of TEWL measurement. Contact us today to learn more about the game-changing capabilities of this innovative instrument and discover how it can elevate your research to new heights.

Cutometer® Dual mPa 580: Skin Multifunctional Diagnostic system

Device Review

What Does It Measure?

For many years, the measurement of elasticity parameters with the Cutometer® Dual MPA 580 has been worldwide acknowledged as standard method. The Multi Probe layout allows to connect up to four probes additionally to two Cutometer® probes. A Sebumeter® is also built in.

The Measuring Principle

The measurement is based on suction. Negative pressure created by a vacuum pump within the device draws the skin into the aperture of the probe. Inside the probe, the penetration depth is determined by a non-contact optical measuring system. It consists of a light source and a light receptor, as well as two prisms facing each other, projecting the light from transmitter to receptor. The light intensity varies due to the penetration depth of the skin. The resistance of the skin to be sucked up by negative pressure (firmness) and its ability to return into its original position (elasticity) are displayed as curves in real time.

Fields of Application

The measurement with the Cutometer® is used as standard in anti-ageing research and cosmetology.

• It is indispensable for formulation, efficacy testing and claim support for all kinds of cosmetic products (esp. anti-ageing products, firmness enhancing & anti-cellulite products).

• Basic research of mechanical properties of the skin and skin ageing.

• Other materials like food or textiles can also be assessed.
