INNOVATIVE EX VIVO HUMAN SKIN MODELS USING HI-TECH SCIENCE
Real human skin for reliable experiments
Genoskin provides the cosmetic, chemical and pharmaceutical industry with a new generation of human skin models and assays for dermatological testing. Our hi-tech ex vivo human skin models represent the last-line screens, in laboratory conditions, prior to clinical evaluation. Our models only include natural human skin that is kept alive for 7 days in multi-well testing kits to enable much broader efficacy and toxicity studies.
Real human skin structure
Live human skin response
Adequate skin barrier function, tissue integrity, morphology and physiology
All the characteristics and appendages of real human skin
Ready to use and easy to manipulate for efficient assays
Standardized for reproducible results
Variation of skin types and donors
Safety tested
Ethical & reliable skin models
Genoskin’s human skin models provide a reliable alternative to animal experiments. Our models use donated human skin that is obtained with the donors’ informed consent in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Genoskin Human Skin Models
Our wide range of human skin models offers new testing possibilities to industries to test the response of human skin to their products.
Ready-to-use human skin models
Operators can start testing immediately after following the instructions for use.
Preserved tissue integrity and cell viability
After 7 days of culture, Nativeskin® still demonstrates normal histological features.
ETHICAL EX VIVO HUMAN SKIN MODELS FROM REAL HUMAN SKIN TISSUE
Genoskin uses real human skin that is collected from volunteering donors
To provide the best skin models possible, Genoskin uses real human skin that is collected from volunteering donors. All our donors expressly consent to donating excess tissue after surgery to help science move forward while preserving animal welfare. Our human skin models therefore hold all the characteristics and appendages of real human skin and allow you to test your products on an innovative skin model that provides adequate skin barrier function, tissue integrity, morphology and physiology. Every skin sample is tested for safety before it is integrated in our testing kits.
Informed Consent from every donor
Skin samples and biopsies are collected in compliance to all applicable regulations
In compliance with all applicable regulations.
Human skin models as an alternative to animal testing
Genoskin’s human skin models provide an excellent alternative to animal testing, as they contain no animal components. We strongly believe it’s possible to help science move forward by thinking out of the box to preserve animal welfare.
