Abstract

A multiple chamber microfluidic system for in vitro release and skin permeability testing has been developed. Infinite dose permeation studies with salicylic acid (SA) applied on silicone membranes were run in the microfluidic chip and in six Franz diffusion cells. The diffusion profiles are comparable in the two systems, however the steady state flux measured in the chip is 35% higher. Due to the small volumes and the continuous flow in the microfluidic chambers, the chip enables more accurate permeation profiles with coefficients of variations (CV) below 5% at steady state.
