gen2-SCA
in vivo skin analysis
The gen2-SCA is a highly sensitive confocal Raman system for in vivo skin analysis. The RiverICon instrument control software calculates and shows molecular concentration profiles during data collection. The SkinTools3 software is available for comprehensive offline data-analysis.
The gen2-SCA uses red and near-infrared laser light and complies with international standards for safe laser light exposure of the skin. All "Raman-expertise" is inside, which makes the gen2-SCA very easy-to-operate: switch on, auto-calibrate, and start collecting data.
applications
- Determine molecular concentration profiles from the skin surface into the dermis with high spatial resolution.
- Measure the distribution of intrinsic skin constituents: amino acids, sweat constituents, lipids, proteins, water...
- Perform non-invasive quantitative analysis of dynamic processes such as skin penetration and permeation of topical formulations. Optimize active delivery.
- See the difference between volar forearm skin, cheek, forehead, scalp, axilla, and other.
