A Groundbreaking Achievement
Preserving the viability of native human skin explants is known to be a limiting factor that hinders the possibility to conduct long-term and repeated dose studies. In traditional plasticware and static setups, a rapid degradation of the viable epidermis and dermis occurs, significantly restricting the testing period for topic cosmetic & dermatological products to a mere 7 days from the harvesting time. This limits the insights that can be obtained from native skin explants on their long-term effects.
Leveraging on the enabling microfluidic features of ReleGO™ and the REVex™ chip, we are now able to extend the “usable window” of native skin explants to 20 days. This unprecedented achievement is pivotal to better understand long-term effects of single and repeated doses of your ingredients and products.
Follow the timeline of the H&E sections below and witness how, when culturing native human skin on our ReleGO™ & REVex™ platform, the viability and the morphology of the epidermis are preserved and maintained for 20 days. This is not possible with a static culture approach.
This demonstration is the first of its kind and opens up avenues not only for repeated dose studies of formulations & ingredients, but also for transdermal and subdermal delivery studies.
Follow us to get updates on how REVIVO BioSystems’ technology can help you conduct long-term culture of native human skin explants and advance your cosmetic, dermatological and transdermal research.

REVIVO BioSystems’ webinar series
This month REVIVO BioSystems successfully hosted the first episode of a webinar series, marking the beginning of an engaging path intended to connect with our global audience. This first session focused on the "Basics of Organ-on-Chip", setting the stage for deeper explorations into our proprietary technology in the upcoming webinars.
Our webinar series aims at offering our audience a comprehensive understanding of the features and capabilities of our 4D organ-on-chip platform and 4D tissue models. Through presentations, instrument demonstrations and live Q&A segments, we will tackle direct questions, clarify essential concepts, and offer valuable insights into how our technology is transforming in vitro and ex vivo testing research.
