VapoMeter

The VapoMeter is used to measure Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) which is a key indicator of the skin barrier function and the ability to measure this accurately is essential in a wide range of clinical and personal care applications.

It is wireless, fully portable and measurements are unaffected by the instrument’s orientation. The VapoMeter has been used in a wide range of clinical studies. Measurements take just a few seconds and accurate repeatable results are obtained at both high and low evaporation levels. A range of Franz cell adapters are available for in-vitro studies.

Measuring TEWL is an efficient way to test the skin barrier function. The skin barrier function plays a crucial role in maintaining overall skin health and protecting the body from external threats. VapoMeter is recommended to assess these skin features:

• Skin moisturizing

• Skin Ageing

• Skin Acne and Blemishes

• Atopic Dermatitis

• Rosacea

• Erythema (Skin sensitivity)

• Peeling skin (desquamation)

• Roughness

• Skin occlusion

• Puffy Eyes

• Chapped Lips

• Pollution

• Scalp sensitivity

• Nail hydration

Delfin VapoMeter is also the Instrument of Choice for In-vitro Release Testing (IVRT) / In-vitro Permeation Testing (IVPT)

Determination of the Skin’s Barrier Function / Skin Damage and thus Permeability is a critical step in these evaluations. The VapoMeter is used to measure Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) as an indicator of skin integrity. Stratum Corneum, the uppermost layer of the skin forms a major barrier to permeation of topically applied compounds. It is important to use undamaged skin samples in permeability experiments. Thus, a skin integrity test is always performed as part of any IVPT protocol.
