Description

The vertical diffusion cell, first popularized by Dr. Thomas Franz, has been applied to a number of skin permeation studies, including topical and transdermal drug delivery formulations, as well as ophthalmics, cosmetics, skin care products, and pesticides. The vertical diffusion cell system is an ideal tool for quality control of topical preparations.
Features & Benefits:
• Ideal for quality control of topicals
• Newly redesigned for accuracy and ease of use
• Occluded cell design minimizes back-diffusion

Why Use Topicals and Diffusion Cell Testing?
• Topicals offer the shortest route between the treatment area and application point.
• Topicals often provide a faster relief of symptoms.
• Diffusion cell testing mimics the process of topicals diffusing into the skin.
• Diffusion cell testing helps determine release rate.
