Test material information

Constituent 1

Test material form:

solid: crystalline

Details on test material:

Batch No.: E00873-025-001
Physical Description: Black solid
Storage Conditions: Kept in a controlled room temperature area

Test system

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10.2 to 10.9 mg, moistened with 5 µl water

NEGATIVE CONTOL:
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 25 µl Phosphate buffered saline

POSITIVE CONTROL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 25 µl
- Concentration (if solution): 5% (aq) Sodium dodecyl sulphate

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Exposure:15 minutes
Post incubation period: 42 hours

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: human epidermis model
- % coverage: 0.38 cm2

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): phosphate buffered saline
- Time after start of exposure: 15 minutes

POST INCUBATION PERIOD
- 42 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
- After a 42 hour incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment. Cell viability was calculated for each tissue as a percentage of the mean of the negative control tissues.

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The in vitro skin irritation test was conducted according to OECD 439 guideline and GLP principles.

It is concluded that this test is valid and that EXP1313100 is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test.

Executive summary:

Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test substance.

The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 minutes treatment with EXP1313100 compared to the negative control tissues was 120%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for EXP1313100 was above 50% after 15 minutes treatment EXP1313100 is considered to be non-irritant.

 

The positive control had a mean cell viability of 10% after 15 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570(optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was less than 9%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.
