Breaking boundaries: ReleGO™ & REVex™ Pushes the Boundaries of Native Skin Viability up to 20 days for Ex-Vivo Studies

ReleGO & REVex organ-on-a-chip technology

A revolutionary achievement

Preserving the vitality of native human skin explants has long been a challenge, limiting the potential for conducting in-depth, long-term studies. In traditional plasticware and static setups, the rapid deterioration of the viable epidermis and dermis restricts testing periods for cosmetic and dermatological products to just 7 days post-harvest. This constrains the insights that can be gained on the long-term effects of native skin explants.

By harnessing the innovative microfluidic capabilities of ReleGO™ and the REVex™ chip by REVIVO BioSystems , we have successfully expanded the “usable window” for native skin explants to an impressive 20 days. This groundbreaking accomplishment is crucial for gaining deeper insights into the long-term impacts of your ingredients and products, whether used in single or repeated doses.

Follow the timeline of the H&E sections below to see firsthand how, when culturing native human skin on our ReleGO™ & REVex™ platform, the viability and morphology of the epidermis are meticulously preserved and sustained for a remarkable 20-day period. This level of preservation and longevity is simply unattainable with a static culture approach.
