Currently, the external and internal administration of effective ingredients that can reach the epidermis and dermis is the main alternative for combating skin aging.

Biosensors are rising technologies in the pharmaceutical field for medicine discovery, development and Quality Control (QC) stages. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) biosensor employs acoustic waves generated by oscillating a piezoelectric crystal quartz plate to meas. mass and viscosity, and allows to detect and quantify binding events between the analyte and an immobilized interacting ligand.
