TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 0.5 cm2

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): At the end of the exposure period, each tissue was removed from the well using forceps and rinsed using a wash bottle containing DPBS with Ca++ and Mg++. Rinsing was achieved by filling and emptying each tissue insert for approximately 40 seconds using a constant soft stream of DPBS to gently remove any residual test item. The rinsed tissues were transferred to the 6-well post exposure incubation plates prefilled with 2.0 mL of growth medium.
- Time after start of exposure: 42 minutes

Executive summary:

The purpose of this test was to evaluate the skin irritation potential of the test item using the SKINETHIC^TM reconstructed human epidermis model after a treatment period of 42 minutes followed by a post-exposure incubation period of 42 hours. The principle of the assay was based on the measurement of cytotoxicity in reconstructed human epidermal cultures following topical exposure to the test item by means of the colorimetric MTT reduction assay. Cell viability is measured by enzymatic reduction of the yellow MTT tetrazolium salt (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) to a blue formazan salt (within the mitochondria of viable cells) in the test item treated tissues relative to the negative controls. Histopathological analysis maybe conducted if considered necessary. The concentration of the cytokine or LDH release in the culture medium retained following the 42-Hour post-exposure incubation period may also be determined under certain circumstances.

Quadruplicate tissues were treated with the test item or control items for an exposure period of 42 minutes. At the end of the exposure period each tissue was rinsed before incubating for 42 hours. At the end of the post-exposure incubation period three tissues for each group were taken for MTT-loading. The remaining treated tissues were retained for possible histology. The growth medium from beneath each tissue was transferred to pre-labeled micro tubes and stored in a freezer for possible inflammatory mediator determination. After MTT-loading the inserts were removed and immersed in isopropanol for extraction of formazan crystals out of the MTT-loaded tissues.

At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was mixed thoroughly and triplicate 200 µL samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labeled 96-well plate. The optical density was measured at 562 nm.

Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT reduction in the test item treated tissues relative to negative control tissues).

The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was 56.9% after the 42-Minute exposure period and 42 hour post-exposure incubation period. It was considered unnecessary to proceed with tissue histology or analysis of inflammatory mediators.

The test item was classified as non-irritant. The following classification criteria apply: EU DSD & CLP Not classified for Irritation.

UN GHS Not classified for Irritation (category 3 can not be determined).
