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).
