Ex-vivo Skin

ex-vivo skin

Human tissues are required for many research purposes. Sterlab has therefore established a broad tissue acquisition network to obtain normal human-origin ex-vivo skin for research use only.
Sterlab collect the ex-vivo skin samples from patients who have undergone cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. Patients are anonymous and agreed to give their skin by signing a consent form.

Sterlab possesses the required accreditations from the French Ministry of High Education and Research (L.1243-4, R.1243-61), for the use, collection, transformation, storage of human-origin tissues and body fluids for research.

Sterlab provides a Certificate of Analysis for each of its human-derived products. All donors are HIV 1 & 2, hepatitis B and C viruses negative.

Ex-vivo skin:

  • Adult skin (exemple: abdomen, breast, lift) or foreskin
  • Different customized formats or disks (on demand)
  • Full-thickness or dermatomized
  • Fresh or Frozen

Donor information includes age, sex, ethnicity, skin localisation.
