DermEden Trusts the Precise & Reliable DSM-4
"At DermEden Laboratories, we use the Colorimeter DSM-4 from Cortex Technology in a clinical study, and we have been thoroughly impressed with this device. The measurement process is intuitive, precise, and easy to perform, with clear on-screen visualization that simplifies data management.
The DSM-4 delivers reliable, consistent results – even across multiple measurements. In our tests, there was nearly no variation between two readings taken per zone, demonstrating its precision. Plus, its high-quality, modern design enhances the professional experience.
What truly sets Cortex apart is their exceptional support. Their training sessions are clear, precise, and highly efficient, and their team is always ready to answer our questions and even proactive in addressing our needs.
Sometimes, the human element makes all the difference, and we sincerely appreciate their dedication. Many thanks for your outstanding support!"

CryoPro Makes a Real Difference
As dermatologists who have been using the CryoPro liquid nitrogen sprayer over the past few years, we can confidently say it has made a real difference in our approach to treating skin lesions.
The CryoPro is precise, easy to use, and allows us to perform cryosurgical procedures with minimal discomfort for patients.
Cortex’s Cryos are durable, reliable and versatile – which is why we choose them over competing devices.
We highly recommend CryoPro to colleagues looking for a reliable and effective cryosurgery solution.

Proven accuracy
“The Colorimeter DSM-4 has proven to be an effective tool for accurately measuring skin pigmentation. We have verified this through a recent comparative study, where the DSM-4 demonstrated its excellent accuracy.”
The DSM-4's optimized design for skin color measurements ensures accurate ITA values, making it particularly useful to distinguish between individuals that differ in their degree of pigmentation.
Additionally, it allows for reliable estimation of differences in sun exposure by comparing constitutive and facultative pigmentation. This makes the DSM-4 a valuable instrument for both clinical and research settings.”

20 Years of Flawless Performance
"I have been working with Cortex instruments my entire career and have found them to be valuable, reliable tools for non-invasive testing of the skin. They offer innovative solutions to many of your testing needs, based on validated and accepted principles. The quality of their equipment is second to none; I have never had an instrument fail on me in 20 years of working with their equipment daily.
The DSM 4 is in near constant use in my laboratories, not only for assessing color changes to the skin during out clinical studies, but also for classifying the skin tones of our subjects via Individual Typology Angle as a superior alternative to Fitzpatrick type. It is so simple and easy to calibrate and use, even the most novice technician can be collecting meaningful data with just a few minutes of training."

DSM-4 delivers crucial melanin measurements
“We have purchased four Colorimeter DSM devices for various research projects in our university lab. One of our recent publications uses the DSM for melanin measurement, and we are very pleased with the device.
We are currently using it in Rwanda and Ghana, in addition to our work in the US. Since our research focuses on developing equitable medical optical devices, understanding and quantifying skin properties scientifically is crucial, and the DSM devices have been instrumental in meeting our needs.”

Quick, portable and easy to use
"Our primary purpose for using the DSM-4 was for clinical research; we wanted an unbiased measurement of skin color alongside patients’ self-reported Fitzpatrick scores.
We chose the DSM-4 because it was positively reviewed in a comparative study assessing multiple clinical research colorimeters. I was looking to collect data about melanin index and CIELAB values, and the fact that this device measures both was very helpful. The size and price of the device was appealing compared to other options.
The size and portability of the colorimeter was very helpful for clinical use. I appreciated that the colorimeter was quick and easy to use; it was something I could demonstrate on myself to show patients how it worked as part of their consent to participate in research. The wireless design and long battery life was also essential for our purposes.
I would definitely recommend this one for everyday use in a similar setting. It has worked very well for us for over a year, and it still functions just like new."
