| STE is an independent North American distributor
of leading edge test and research technology produced by manufacturers from around the world. Each instrument
is uniquely designed for use in the cosmetics, personal care products, medical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Well suited for human and animal studies in both in-vivo and in-vitro settings, our test instruments
produce highly accurate and objective measures critical for product development, safety testing, drug & product
efficacy, and claims substantiation. |
AquaFlux |
Manufacturer: Biox
Systems Ltd, London, UK |
| The AquaFlux is the top-performing instrument for skin barrier characterisation
by the TEWL method. It uses patented condenser-chamber technology to deliver
measurements of unrivalled sensitivity without the need for controlled ambient conditions. Accurate calibration
methods unique to Biox ensure that measurements are consistent from instrument to instrument and from
time to time. Immunity from artefacts associated with probe angle, contact pressure and hand-heat ensures
that measurements are consistent from operator to operator, from laboratory to laboratory and from time
to time. Our latest developments in quality control provide the means to verify measurements based on
rigorous scientific criteria, to further increase the statistical relevance of data sets. Quick-interchange
measurement caps adapt the instrument to diverse tasks in-vivo, ex-vivo, in-vitro and in-culture. |

Epsilon |
Manufacturer: Biox
Systems Ltd, London, UK |
| The Epsilon is a novel instrument for contact imaging of
human skin, hair and a wide variety of other soft materials, including animal and plant tissues, waxes,
fats, gels, liquids and powders. Its proprietary electronics and signal processing algorithms map the
sensor's non-linear signals onto a calibrated scale for measuring properties such as hydration and insensible
perspiration. Apart from snapshot capture, the software has facilities for recording bursts and videos
for studying spacially resolved dynamic processes such as occlusive hydration, wetting, and the permeation
of liquids through membranes. |

C-Cube Dermoscope |
Manufacturer: Pixience SAS, Toulouse, France |
| The C-Cube Dermoscope can capture calibrated, glare-free images of skin,
scalp & hair in ultra-high definition. The images can be analysed to assess more than 20 dermal characteristics,
including dryness & desquamation, pores & seborrhea, pigmentation & ageing, vascularisation,
erythema, micro-relief and make-up. The C-Cube camera can also be used ex-vivo, with an optional sample
reader accessory, to evaluate the manufacturing quality of tablets & capsules, the colour consistency
of solutions & creams, seborrhea (with Sebutape) and skin dryness (with D-Squame patches). |

TiVi700 Tissue Viability Imager |
Manufacturer: WheelsBridge
AB, Linkoping, Sweden |
Tissue Viability Imager TiVi700 – based on polarization spectroscopy – can “see beyond”
the top layer of the skin and collect information about the underlying microcirculation and other skin
parameters. TiVi700 quantifies what can be observed by the naked eye and takes subjectivity out of skin
testing. Tivi700 is equipped with a number of toolboxes for the investigation of a variety of skin parameters.
With integrated video (frame rate up to 50 fps and resolution of 1250×700
pixels), the TiVi700 eliminates movement artefacts in investigations
of microcirculation in moving objects. |
 |
TiVi8000 Tissue Viability Imager |
Manufacturer: WheelsBridge
AB, Linkoping, Sweden |
| The TiVi8000 can be used for microcirculation mapping with
a handheld probe connected to a PC or tablet computer via USB. It can map and display real
time dynamic alterations in the microcirculation of skin and other tissues. |
 |
DUB® SkinScanner |
Manufacturer: tpm
taberna pro medicum GmbH, Lueneburg, Germany |
| The SkinScanner is a high frequency ultrasound system with interchangeable applicators
ranging from 22MHz to 75MHz for producing images of subsurface dermal structures with unparalleled resolution.
Highly precise measurement of skin thickness and density make it ideal for assessing efficacy of
anti-ageing products. |
 |
Neurometer® CPT®/C |
Manufacturer: Neurotron,
Inc., Baltimore, Maryland, USA |
| The Neurometer® CPT®/C testing system utilizes distinct frequencies
of constant current stimuli to measure perception thresholds of 3 major subpopulations of cutaneous sensory
nerve fibers. Its ability to measure small fiber function makes the patented Neurometer® uniquely suitable
for evaluating skin irritation, sensitization, and itch perception. "Sensitive" skin test subjects
are identified easily by comparing their baseline scores to established normative data. A full range
of specially designed electrodes allows for the testing of any cutaneous or mucosal surface. |
