Skin tissues (human and Göttingen minipig)

Skin and skin-derived products are available for in vitro human and animal skin models to assess pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics, and other consumer products.

PRIMACYT offers skin tissues from human and Goettingen minipig. These ex vivo skin explants serve as valuable model systems and tools for drug discovery and cosmetic development.

PRIMACYT provides researchers with fresh and cryopreserved human ex vivo skin explants for cosmetics and chemical testing. Applications include but are not limited to skin penetration assays, dermal absorption, percutaneous absorption studies using Franz diffusion cell systems according to OECD guideline 428. 

For research use only. Not intended for human or animal diagnostic or therapeutic use. Tissues can be shipped fresh with overnight courier for a delivery within 24 hours after surgery. Cryopreserved tissues will be shipped on dry ice.

All donors are serologically tested for HAV, HBV, HCV and HIV 1+2.

Ethical Compliance:
Human tissue donations are obtained with the inform consent from donors who undergo surgery. The tissue is removed during surgical operations and would otherwise be discarded as biological waste.

For cryopreserved Göttingen Minipig tissue: Please ask.

Tissue specimen are available either fresh or frozen. The tissues are processed to meet customers’ specifications. Fresh tissue specimen can be delivered within 24 – 48 hours after surgical removal to researchers and clients within Europe.

Specimen criteria include:

• Age
• Gender
• Body Mass Index
• Ethnicity
• Full thickness, with or without adipose removed
• Dermatomed
• Size, from <50 cm² to >600 cm²

Ex vivo skin explants are obtained from different body parts, including abdomen, breast, thighs, arm and face.

Skin tissues are visually inspected to meet specific requirements for stretch marks, moles, scars, tattoos other factors affecting the integrity of the sample. Photos of skin samples are provided in the accompanying analysis certificates.

Ethical Compliance:
Human tissue donations are obtained with the inform consent from donors who undergo surgery. The tissue is removed during surgical operations and would
