Sebumeter SM 815 – Determining Sebum on Skin Surface, Scalp and Hair

The Sebumeter SM 815 is a trusted instrument for objective sebum measurements on skin, scalp, and hair, designed for researchers, cosmetic developers, and dermatology labs. It offers reproducible results through a simple, non-occlusive testing process.

Product Features & Benefits

• Proven measurement principle: The device uses grease spot photometry, where a special mat tape becomes transparent in proportion to surface sebum. The tape’s transparency is measured to determine sebum content, and it reacts specifically to sebum rather than water content.
• Precise, repeatable head design: The measuring head exposes a 64 mm2 section of tape; the tape advances to a fresh section via a side trigger, and used tape is rewound inside the cartridge for hygiene and consistency.
• High accuracy and easy calibration: A zero calibration before each measurement provides high accuracy, and a dedicated calibration tool lets you verify performance at any time.
• Compact, user-friendly probe: The probe is small and lightweight, making it easy to measure on all body sites. The cartridge head’s spring maintains constant pressure for reliable results.
• Wide range of applications: Widely used in dermatological and cosmetic research to support product claims (e.g., cleansers, anti-acne, hair care) and to assess oily skin or scalp conditions.
• Flexible integration: The SM 815 is available as a stand-alone device or can be integrated into the Derma Unit SSC 3 or built into MPA systems.
• Trusted by Courage + Khazaka electronic GmbH: A globally recognized brand in dermatological measurement technology, known for reliable sebumetry methods.
• Tape capacity and hygiene: One cartridge supports up to approximately 400 measurements, with cartridge replacement ensuring hygienic testing.
• Measurement range: Sebum content is expressed in a standardized scale, with readings commonly presented in units that reflect surface sebum levels.
