Systemic therapies are usually preferred to treat this ring worm due to an inadequate penetration of the drugs administered topically, however, systemic treatments to antifungals are associated with limited penetration of the drug into the target tissue, as well as side effects and resistance.

PiFM is a technique that employs a high degree of chemical specificity, in a non-destructive manner, with no need for additives or labelling. We take a look at the benefits of using PiFM with your samples, and the applications that they currently, and have the possibility in the future to, frequent.
