CELLnTEC routinely performs a wide range of dermatological tests for cosmetic, cosmeceutical and nutraceutical companies.
We specialize in utilizing the latest science to design and complete powerful in vitro tests which enable new claims, and maximum differentiation of your product in the market.
Tests are carried out in both monolayer and 3-dimensional (skin equivalent) cultures, and are regularly customized for specific situations. This ensures the continual flow of novel approaches and results necessary to drive the appeal and visibility of your products.
CELLnTEC routinely investigates biological mechanisms in a wide range of fields (for details, please choose your area of interest in the left hand menu). As an example, some of our recent work has characterized:
- UV-induced damage in the presence and absence of novel actives
- Wound healing using for example scratch and migration assays in 2D or 3D cultures
- Cytotoxicity of novel actives and cosmeceutical preparations
- Stem cell activity or depletion
- Adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis
- Skin whitening in melanocyte cultures
All tests are complimented by a wide range of histological, molecular and microscopy methods, enabling us to tailor every project to investigate the markers of greatest relevance to each specific situation.
