Zoology/Animal Health

Measurement systems for efficacy testing on human skin also find their place for measuring on animals. Bioengineering methods are used to do efficacy testing on care, nutrition, pharmaceuticals and drugs for animals. Investigating skin and hair diseases in animals is another wide field. There are several studies from different applications where the C+K devices have been used in zoology/animal health.

Corneometer® CM 825

The World's Most Popular Skin Hydration Measurement Instrument

For more than 35 years the Corneometer^® has provided the worldwide most used method to reproducibly and accurately determine the hydration level of the skin surface (stratum corneum). The probe has also been used to measure animal skin documented in a variety of studies.

Visioscan® VC 20plus

Use the Multi-Talent Tool on Animal Skin

The Visioscan^® VC 20plus is a unique UVA-light video camera with high resolution to study the skin surface directly. The SELS^® parameters (Surface Evaluation of the Living Skin) have been developed especially for this camera and are used in numerous studies. The images show the structure of the skin and the level of dryness very impressively. The camera can be used on pigmented spots and lesions and on hair. With its multi-functional software, the Visioscan^® VC 20plus is a very flexible system to characterize also animal skin easily, accurately and very economically. It had been used on board of the International Space Station ISS for several years.

Meibometer® MB 560

Interesting Device to Measure the Lacrimal Fluid's Lipid Content

Lipids produced by the Meibomian glands keep the moisture of the tear fluid, thereby prevent the eyes from drying and keep them clear with comfortable vision. The typical dry eye problem is caused when the lipid production at the Meibomian glands is disrupted. The tear film becomes destabilized and can break down quickly, creating dry spots on the surface of the eyes. The Meibometer^® is the first and only measurement tool worldwide offering an interesting and unique approach to assess this deficiency.
