Skin Hydration Meter
Product Details:
The Corneometer® CM 825 employs the principle of capacitance to objectively quantify the hydration level of the stratum corneum—the uppermost layer of skin. When hydration in the stratum corneum—a dielectric medium—increases, its dielectric properties change correspondingly. This change is detected by the precision capacitor built into the probe and the software presents it in terms of arbitrary Corneometer® units.
Salient Features Of The Corneometer® CM 825
The following are some of the salient features of the latest version of the Corneometer® which make it the international standard for skin hydration measurement.
Spring-Loaded Operation
The Corneometer® CM 825 has a spring-loaded operation mechanism. This helps the operator apply the same pressure on skin during every measurement, ensuring reproducible and comparable measurements. As the probe is supposed to measure hydration only at 10 to 20 microns of the stratum corneum, this mechanism helps avoid the influence of hydration from deeper skin layers.
