TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss) is the process of liquid water diffusing through the Stratum Corneum (SC), from the wet Viable Epidermis to the dry skin surface. The TEWL water evaporates into the surrounding air, maintaining a dry skin surface.
When it comes to accurate and fast TEWL measurements for skin research, clinical studies, and efficacy studies, AquaFlux™ stands out as the top choice. It outperforms competitors in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, repeatability, reproducibility, and versatility. AquaFlux™ overcomes challenges associated with open and closed-chamber methods through its revolutionary condenser technology, continuously removing water vapor by converting it to ice, guaranteeing accurate and precise measurements.
Decades of numerous studies have consistently supported the exceptional performance of AquaFlux™, making it the preferred instrument for professionals in the skincare and scientific communities. Its unique patented technology has proven instrumental in advancing research and enhancing understanding.
Unlock the potential of your studies with AquaFlux™ and revolutionize your understanding of TEWL measurement. Contact us today to learn more about the game-changing capabilities of this innovative instrument and discover how it can elevate your research to new heights.
