Transdermal diffusion system, Hanson Research

Includes a six-chamber set of Franz-type vertical diffusion chambers and thermostat. Company: Hanson Microette TM Topical & Transdermal Diffusion Cell System, Hanson Research Corporation, USA. The system is used in research to evaluate: the barrier properties of human skin, the ability of substances to penetrate the skin, as well as to understand the kinetics of the diffusion process. Biological samples (ex-vivo skin) as well as synthetic membranes (artificial skin) can be used. It is possible to verify the capacity for absorption into the body of, for example, therapeutic or toxic substances via blood or lymphatic vessels located in the skin. The system is also used to assess pharmaceutical availability from medicinal skin formulations as well as cosmetic formulations (ointments, creams, emulsions) or plant extracts directly. The system complies with pharmacopoeial and US Food and Drug Administration - FDA requirements.
