Important events during the quarter

Overall sales increased by 18% (+17, before currency effects). Sales in Germany within the skin cancer segment increased by 15% (15% in local currency). Sales in the US skin cancer market increased by 67% while the sales within the skin barrier segment decreased by 15%.
The first direct comparison between electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using Nevisense and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) was published in the scientific journal Annals of Dermatology. The study demonstrates Nevisense as a more robust technique to assess skin barrier function than the commonly accepted TEWL measurement technique. The authors concluded that EIS (Nevisense) can assess skin barrier function with less sensitivity to confounding lifestyle factors than TEWL.
SciBase initiated a partnership with Skinobs, a leading global platform connecting researchers with the tools they need for their cosmetic and medical research. Through this partnership, SciBase will now offer Nevisense for assessing skin barrier function within cosmetic testing on the Skinobs platform.
