TechTalk: Reducing IVRT and IVPT variability through automation
Friday, June 12 at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 8:00 PDT
In vitro permeation testing (IVPT) is a widely recognized tool for evaluating topical and transdermal drug delivery. However, its reliability can be compromised by significant variability. This variability stems not only from the inherent heterogeneity of skin samples, but also from operator-dependent factors and inconsistencies in experimental setup and instrumentation.
In this SelectScience® TechTalk, Hector Bucaro from Teledyne LABS – Hanson, will examine the key sources of variability in IVPT and present his company’s approach to minimizing both instrument- and user-induced inconsistencies.
Attendees will also gain an exclusive look at the Phoenix Flex System in action.
