Franz Diffusion Cell
A Franz Diffusion Cell is essential for developing transdermal applications, enabling the study of drug permeation through membranes. While Side-Bi-Side Cells analyze permeation within the body, In-Line Cells are mainly used for transdermal research. Available in both plain and jacketed designs, Franz Cells come in all standard sizes to suit various testing needs.

Overview
The Franz Diffusion Cell is a crucial tool for studying permeation and diffusion through biological tissues, polymer membranes, and artificial membranes. We manufacture Franz Cells in various capacities, including 5 ml, 8 ml, 10 ml, 12 ml, 15 ml, 20 ml, 25 ml, and 30 ml, catering to diverse research needs.
Applications & Cell Selection:
✔ 5 ml Franz Cells – Ideal for mucosal tissue permeation studies.
✔ 8 ml Franz Cells – Most commonly used for human skin studies due to its optimal orifice diameter.
✔ 15 ml Franz Cells – Preferred for polymer and artificial membranes, with a 28mm flat ground joint ensuring a secure membrane fit.
Key Considerations:
- Tissue Availability & Cost – Larger cells require larger tissue specimens, impacting regulatory and biohazard considerations.
- Evaporation Prevention – To minimize fluid loss, wrap the joint with parafilm and cover the sampling arm with three layers of parafilm.
Franz Diffusion Cells provide accurate, reliable, and repeatable results for skin permeation, drug delivery, and membrane diffusion studies, making them an essential tool for pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
