Optimized model
ERCO Pharma’s stratum corneum model has been optimized against high resolution cryo-electron microscopy reference data from human skin.
Flexible workflow
A computational approach enables unmatched versatility during modifications of the concentration of active ingredient and penetrations enhancers.
High resolution data
Data collection with a resolution down to atomic coordinates is utilized in order to give a detailed description of the permeation process.
Skin permeation
Using ERCO Pharma’s skin model we can obtain predicted permeation-rates of multiple solutes across the stratum corneum.
Topical formulations
Our skin model can help you optimize your topical formulation in order to maximize the partitioning of your drug molecule into human skin.
Computational consulting
We can provide computational expertise and on-site support, as well as contract calculation work.
