Product Description

Epsilon E100 Hydration Measuring and Imaging System – 2D Capacitance Skin Analyzer

Epsilon E100 is the world’s leading commercial 2D skin permittivity imaging system developed by UK Biox Systems, replacing traditional single-point Corneometer-type moisture testers with full-surface mapping technology for stratum corneum hydration research.

Different from conventional single-sensor probes that only output average moisture value of the whole test area, E100 integrates 76,800 micro capacitance sensors to capture pixel-level skin dielectric permittivity data, converting electrical signals into intuitive 2D hydration distribution images. Based on the huge dielectric constant difference between keratin (ε≈2) and water (ε≈80), it achieves non-invasive, linear calibrated quantitative measurement of skin moisture without subjective data deviation.

Equipped with exclusive ε-filerting algorithm, the instrument automatically eliminates interference from hair, skin creases, uneven contact and surface free water, greatly improving data repeatability. It supports static snapshot, burst shot and dynamic video recording modes, paired with professional Epsilon 3.1 software to generate histogram, standard deviation and ROI regional hydration data, realizing quantitative analysis of skin moisture uniformity, skin flexibility, micro-relief texture and sweat activity.

The measured data has high correlation with human subjective sensory feedback, which provides solid objective data support for moisturizing cream, lotion, facial care product efficacy clinical trials and cosmetic functional claim verification. Widely adopted by cosmetic R&D labs, dermatology institutes, pharmaceutical research centers and third-party testing organizations globally, it has become standard equipment for modern skin biophysical research.

Ergonomic handheld probe with lightweight design (200g), USB 2.0 plug-and-play connection, outputs TIFF/AVI/TSV standard data files, compatible with Windows 7/10/11 systems, and supports long-term dynamic skin hydration monitoring for multi-cycle clinical trials.
