3S-Biokit - Skin Surface Strippings What does it do? The 3 S-Biokit set is a quick, easy and economical method for taking skin surface strippings in a least invasive way. The Principle The 3 S-Biokit works with a fast hardening cyanoacrylate glue to remove a superficial layer of the stratum corneum (a thickness of 2-3 cells). The glue polymerizes under slight pressure and generates a compound with the same optical properties as glass. This biopsy gives information on the invivo state of the stratum corneum. It can be dyed and examined under a microscope. Fields of Application The stratum corneum holds a variety of information, not only on the skin itself, but also on the metabolism of the complete body. Therefore biopsies of the skin surface play an indispensable role in dermatology, veterinary medicine and other applications. • Looking at the skin topography. • Diagnosis of a large variety of diseases (e.g. dermatitis, xerosis, parasites, mycosis, melanoma). • Immunostaining to detect special proteins. • Alternatively it may be used as a very quick, safe and time saving method for standardized skin surface strippings or induced irritation. Technical Data cyan acrylic acid ethyl ester 5g Sample carrier: PET foil This product is made by Skin Surface Techology in Belgium and is distributed by Courage+Khazaka. Please also visit www.skin-surface-technology.com Technical changes may be made without prior notice. Advantages • variety of diagnostic possibilies • biokit set extremely economical • minimal invasive • very quick and safe method for stratum corneum biopsies • easy handling • high and long lasting stability without special storage conditions • established method, known for more than 30 years • many scientific studies are available

Literature List (small selection) • C. Pierard, G. Pierard, Cyanoacrylate Skin Surface Stripping for Visualizing Stratum Corneum Structures and Dynamics, Cyanoacrylate skin stripping (CSSS) came into existence when High-bond glues became available. The introduction of the polyethylene slide used to take the sample was a decisive new stage in the development of this technique. The necessary materials are presented in Table7.1. • R. Dawber, Skin Surface Biopsy and the Follicular Cast, CRC Press 1995, chapter 5.5, pp. 121-123. The technique of skin surface biopsy (SSB) was first described by...
