Innovative study models to help science move forward
In order to help science move forward in an ethical way, Genoskin uses donated tissue samples of real human skin as a basis for innovative and reliable skin models. Our human skin models and tools provide a better way to efficiently test chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products without resorting to animal testing.
The Genoskin product range currently holds the following products for research:
NativeSkin®
NativeSkin models contain donated human skin biopsies that are kept alive in a nourishing matrix with dedicated culture medium to enable live human skin response. NativeSkin models are presented in a standardized multi-well testing kit for efficient studies with predictive and reproducible results. The models are available in different formats to meet all your study requirements.
SkinTools®
The SkinTools kit allows research labs to create their own NativeSkin-like testing models from available human skin samples. SkinTools uses Genoskin’s patented matrix and culture medium to keep your lab’s skin biopsies alive for 7 days after excision. SkinTools is compatible with all types of normal and pathological human skin for adequate testing protocols.
HistoSkin®
HistoSkin offers a wide selection of FFPE skin tissue sections for custom staining or immuno-staining procedures. The HistoSkin range allows customers to select the best donor type for their study from over 150 skin biopsy samples that are fully characterized. The collected skin tissue is fixed within 24 hours after surgery and stored at 4°C.
FrozenSkin
FrozenSkin is GenoSkin’s range of flash-frozen human skin tissue for research. The skin samples are collected immediately after surgery with the informed consent of volunteering donors. All FrozenSkin tissue samples are of excellent quality and free of scars and stretch marks. FrozenSkin samples are tested for safety and available at a competitive price.
HypoSkin® – Beta
To date, HypoSkin is the only human skin model that allows you to study the effects of subcutaneous administration on live human skin. HypoSkin models contain donated human skin biopsies that hold all three layers of human skin: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The skin used is kept alive in Genoskin’s patented matrix and culture medium to offer live human skin response.
OncoSkin® – Beta
Genoskin is developing a new skin cancer model for the in vitro study of melanoma. The OncoSkin® skin cancer model now enables in vitro studies on live melanoma spheroids implanted in donated human skin tissue in order to develop new drug therapies and study other therapeutic options.
