Harpera (IUO)

The Harpera™ tool is under development as a skin microsampling solution with microbiopsy technology to enable minimally invasive collection of skin cells for convenient, scar-free biopsy procedures. This tool is currently supplied for investigational use only.

The Harpera™ may be available in future as a medical device for therapeutic or diagnostic use, after additional testing.

Designed for Easy Portability

The small size and portability of the Harpera™ tool make it a user-friendly departure from conventional skin biopsy instruments and more invasive procedures that may require stitches.

The Harpera™ tool is sterilized via gamma irradiation & arrives individually wrapped.

Developed for Easy Sampling

Healthcare professionals will appreciate the quick skin microsampling or "microbiopsy" experience offered with the Harpera™ tool.

Early testers reported more comfort and ease for subjects during biopsies with Harpera, as well as faster healing time after sampling.

Destined for Easier Biopsies

The Harpera™ tool offers many potential benefits for researchers & dermatology experts. It is suited for sampling in sensitive areas, such as the face.

The Harpera is intended to enable remote skin biopsy collection for easy assessment of skin types & different skin conditions.

the future of skin biopsy is at hand

Watch this video report from Pippa Sheehan at Channel 10 News First in Australia to learn how Trajan Scientific and Medical teamed up with researchers at UniQuest, the research commercialization company of The University of Queensland (UQ). The UQ inventors, professors Tarl W. Prow, Peter Soyer and Alexander Bernard Ansaldo, hope this skin microsampling tool can potentially improve skin microbiopsy procedures.
