Skin delivery R&D support · Hong Kong
Project-scoped work for microneedles, topical products and patches—plus IVRT/IVPT, analytical-method planning, study and report review, and technical due diligence. Start with the decision you need to make.
Begin with a non-confidential question. Availability, methods, study site, quality arrangements and responsible parties are confirmed for each project.

Four primary services
Select one service or connect several. Each enquiry is reviewed for scientific fit, practical delivery route, documentation and responsibility before scope is confirmed.
Support for early microneedle research—from selected research molds and process feasibility to characterisation, insertion, dissolution and skin-delivery questions.
Specification and selection support only. Mold supply, pricing and lead time are not offered at this stage.
Project-based support covering research-use pig-ear skin and IVRT materials, agreed wet-lab work, ready-to-test sample preparation, and optional analytical or reporting support.
Modular support from product-goal definition and material screening to formulation comparison, research-scale prototypes, selected performance studies and the next evidence-based step.
Early-stage support for patch and hydrogel-patch concepts, including matrix feasibility, research-scale prototypes, selected physical or performance checks and external-development preparation.
Scientific & commercial decision support
These services can stand alone or accompany one of the four R&D tracks above. LumiMicro defines the scientific question, reviews the evidence and prepares a practical next step; laboratory execution and specialist-provider responsibilities are confirmed separately.
For a protocol about to go to a laboratory, or results whose conclusion you are not yet ready to rely on.
For topical products, receptor fluid and skin extracts where the assay must fit the matrix and decision.
For sponsors who need an external study translated into a clear technical brief and checked at handover.
For product, licensing or partnership decisions involving topical, transdermal, microneedle or veterinary skin-delivery concepts.
Advisory work is scoped separately from laboratory execution. Technical due diligence is not investment, legal, clinical or regulatory advice; no third-party capability or outcome is guaranteed.
Application focus · Companion animal health
LumiMicro helps companion-animal product teams connect dosage-form choices with the evidence needed for the next development decision. A project may combine topical formulation and research-scale prototypes, patches or microneedles, IVRT / IVPT and skin-delivery support, and preparation for responsible external studies.
Clarify the target species, application site, delivery goal, use conditions and the most practical dosage form.

Scope · endpoints · responsibilities · evidence gapsHow we work
The goal is not to order the longest list of tests. It is to define the smallest useful scope that can support the next responsible development decision.
Tell us what you have, what remains uncertain and what you want to receive.
Agree modules, materials, outputs, study or analysis route, timing and responsible parties.
Complete only the agreed scope and deliver the defined materials, samples, data or report support.
Work may be led by LumiMicro, coordinated with an identified laboratory, or delivered through a suitable specialist provider. The proposal and contract identify the actual route; another organisation's facilities or qualifications are never presented as LumiMicro's own.
About LumiMicro
LumiMicro Life Sciences Limited is a Hong Kong-based company supporting product teams, investors and research groups working on topical, transdermal and microneedle delivery questions. The founder has worked on topical and transdermal delivery for nearly three decades.
That work spans ointments, creams and gels; patches and hydrogel patches; dissolving microneedle formulation and process feasibility; IVPT and skin layer separation; veterinary topical formulation and process development; study designs prepared for registration-directed programmes; and technical due diligence on early-stage products.
A contract laboratory will run the study you specify. The harder questions usually come earlier: whether that study is the right one, what its result can and cannot support, and what to do when the standard method does not answer your question. LumiMicro works from the physical principles of skin transport rather than from a guideline template—and, where the established route falls short, designs the method or the research-scale tooling that does.
Regulated studies, clinical work and regulatory submissions are performed or reviewed by appropriately qualified providers. LumiMicro’s role is the decision, the design and the interpretation around them.
Discuss a project
Tell us what you already have, what the next work should help you decide and what type of output you need. We will review the likely service route before requesting sensitive materials.
Do not submit complete formulations, unpublished manuscripts, patient, student or animal-level information, patent concepts, proprietary drawings, raw data, contracts or third-party confidential material.
