SciBase's Nevisense Detects Skin Barrier Damage from Household Cleaning Chemicals
Event summary
- SciBase's Nevisense device detected rapid skin barrier disruption from Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a common surfactant in household cleaning products, in an ex-vivo study with SIAF.
- The study, published in the journal Allergy, also demonstrated Nevisense's ability to measure the recovery effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and nicotinamide (NAM) on damaged skin.
- SciBase positions Nevisense as a potential state-of-the-art research tool in skin barrier research, an expanding area in dermatology.
The big picture
SciBase's study underscores the growing importance of skin barrier research in dermatology, particularly in understanding the impact of common household chemicals. The validation of Nevisense's Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technology positions the device as a critical tool in this expanding field, potentially opening new avenues for clinical and research applications. The company's long-standing research roots at Karolinska Institute further strengthen its credibility in dermatological advancements.
