The MoistureMeterSC is an all-in-one unit that comprises a sensitive round probe head, a built-in contact pressure sensor and a graphic display screen. Measurement values as well as the used contact pressure are displayed on the screen. The MoistureMeterSC may be used either as a stand-alone device or measurement data may be collected wirelessly to the DelfWin software. The DelfWin software allows users to set up individual projects, store and view measurement data and plot the results or export them to other programs for editing.

The measurement principle of the MoistureMeterSC is based on the layered capacitive structure of the skin. The capacitor plates are formed from the probe and the highly conductive epidermal layer while the dry layer of the stratum corneum acts as an insulator. The measurement depth of the MoistureMeterSC varies and is determined by the thickness of the stratum corneum’s dry layer. MoistureMeterSC measurement values are arbitrary units and a combination of the dielectric constant and the changing thickness of the stratum corneum’s dry layer. This technique makes skin hydration measurements extremely sensitive and reproducible.
