The Phenion^® Full Thickness Skin Model developed by Henkel scientists is e.g. known, for its application in the “3D Skin Comet assay”. This validated method allows the reliable investigation of potential DNA-damaging chemicals. Now, another milestone based on the Phenion^® skin model has been reached in skin ageing research.

The Phenion^® Full-Thickness Skin Model, developed by Henkel scientists, is once again demonstrating its exceptional properties: It now serves as the basis for an innovative testing procedure to assess the safety of new raw materials that come into contact with the skin.

Our daily routine ensures that you are receiving only Phenion products which fulfill our high-quality standards. Starting with the human biopsy material, continuing with the isolated primary cells and ending with the fully differentiated skin equivalents, the production processes are carefully monitored to ensure that our pre-defined specifications are completely met.

Phenion, an expert in 3D skin model technology and alternatives to animal testings, is pleased to announce that it deploys the Comet Assay IV live video imaging system from Instem, a leading provider of IT solutions to the global life sciences market, to analyze DNA damage in Phenion Full Thickness Skin Models, that have been subjected to the 3D Skin Comet assay.
