With a new, pure epidermal equivalent Phenion takes the next step to provide innovative, biotechnologically produced 3D tissue equivalents.

The Phenion^® Skin Model portfolio has got a new member: The Phenion^® Full-Thickness LARGE Skin Model. With a surface area of 7.7 cm2 the LARGE tissue exceeds the standard FT model more than fivefold in size.

The Phenion product portfolio has a new member: We have developed an innovative adapter module for the Franz Cell which allows to run a skin permeation study with the human Phenion® Full-Thickness Skin Model even more convenient than before. Assessing dermal absorption and metabolism of substances with our standardized bioartifical equivalent of the human skin is a valid and scientifically accepted  alternative to the use of human or pig skin.

Dermatest and Henkel have confirmed their intention to closer cooperate in the field of in in vitro dermatological testing, based on the innovative Phenion® Full-Thickness ‏(FT) Skin Model. The agreement between both companies will strengthen Henkel’s position as Dermatest’s preferred supplier of full-thickness skin equivalents, whereas Dermatest will benefit from the long-standing experiences of the Henkel scientists in dermatology and in vitro methods.
