ISF Sampling in Dermal and Adipose Tissue - dOFM and aOFM

dOFM – dermal OFM

  • Linear push-pull type probes that are membrane free wih macroscopic openings
  • Used for sampling of Peptides, Proteins, Antibodies, Lipophilic Substances, Bound and Unbound Drugs, Transporters, Enzymes, Nanocarriers, Vesicles and Cells
  • Concentrations and action of dermatological drugs (PK/PD) are measured directly in the dermis.
  • Transport and effects of drugs are monitored after topical or systemic application (e.g., topical glucocorticoids and systemic antibodies in psoriatic or inflammatory animal models).

aOFM – adipose OFM

  • Concentrations and action of drugs (PK/PD) are measured directly in adipose tissue.
  • Independent of the mode of administration (oral, subcutaneous, topical, intravenous or other).
  • Can be combined with glucose-clamp techniques to investigate e.g. insulin sensitivity as well as insulin concentrations and the effects in subcutaneous tissue.

 

  • All a/dOFM supplies are gamma-irradiated (sterile).
