Monitoring the Viscoelastic Properties of Skin in Liquid Environments Using Quartz Crystal Microbalance

Stratum corneum evaluation methods: overview

“…Murthy validated an in vitro method using thinned cadaver skin to measure change in mass and vibrational frequency using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, with a Q‐Sense E4 instrument (Q‐Sense AB) for measurements. This method works best for evaluating absorption of topical treatments .…”
