- PRE-TEST
An assessment of the test material's potential to reduce MTT (a reaction which would have invalidated the main assessment procedure) was first conducted.
50 µL of test material was added to 0.3 mg/mL MTT solution and incubated in the dark for 3 hours. Untreated solution was used as a control. A colur change to blue/purple relative to the control was observed for as this was indicative of a reduction.
MAIN TEST
2.2 mL of assay medium was pipetted into 2 wells fo the second and third columns of a 12-well plate. Tissues were transferred to the second colum.
Duplicate tissues were treated with the test material (50 µL) for the alloted time periods with negative and postive controls being treated with 0.9% w/v NaCl solution and glacial acetic acid respectively.
At the end of the exposure period tissues were removed and rinsed to remove the test material.
Tissues were then transferred to MTT filled wells of the plate and incubated for 3 hours ± 5 minutes at room tempterature then placed onto absorbant paper to dry.Tissues were then examined for MTT staining, and then by total biospy - the epidermis removed from the collagen matrix and both parts placed into 1.5 mL micro tubes containing 850 µL of acidified isopropanol. Tubes were plugged, mixed thoroughly and stored overnight at room temperature to extract formazan crystals out of the MTT-loaded tissues.
After this, tubes were mixed thoroughly on a vortex mixer to produce a homogenous coloured solution. Duplicate 200 µL samples were taken and the optical denisty measured (quantitative viability analysis) at 540 nm using the Anthos 2001 microplate reader.

Any other information on results incl. tables
The pre-test showed no reduction of MTT by the test material, thus the results of the test are not invalid.
