MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/L
- Incubation time: 3 hours
- Spectrophotometer: Versamax Molecular Devices, Softmax Pro, (version 4.7.1.)
- Wavelength: 570 nm
NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: triplicate
PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
For the current test, an irritation potential of a test item is determined and classification is recommended if the mean relative tissue viability of three individual tissues is reduced to less than or equal to 50% of the negative control.
Mean tissue viability =50% = irritant (I)
Mean tissue viability >50% = non-irritant (NI)
Acceptability of the Assay
Criterion 1 (negative control): The absolute OD 570 nm of the negative control tissues in the MTT test is an indicator of tissue viability obtained after the shipping and storing procedure and under specific conditions of the assay. Tissue viability is meeting the acceptance criterion if the mean OD570 of the negative control tissues is > 0.8 and =2.8.
Criterion 2 (positive control): An assay is meeting the acceptance criterion if mean relative tissue viability of the positive control is at or below 20%.
Criterion 3 (standard deviation): The SD of 3 identical replicates should be < 18%.
OD values should not be below historically established boundaries. - Control samples:
- yes, concurrent negative control

- Amount/concentration applied:
- 30 µL
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 60 minutes
- Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):

Results
- Irritation / corrosion parameter:
- % tissue viability
- Remarks:
- after 60 min
- Value:
- 8.8
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- other: mean relative absorbance
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- - Direct-MTT reduction: test item did not reduce MTT
- Colour interference with MTT: test item did not change colour in the colour interference test
- After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well in the required range of the acceptability criterion of mean OD = 0.8 and = 2.8 for the 60 minutes treatment interval, thus assuring the quality of the tissues.
- Treatment with the positive control induced a sufficient decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control for the 60 minutes treatment interval, and thus assuring the validity of the test system; the mean relative absorbance value of the positive control was 4.3% compared to the negative control.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions reported, the test substance is irritant to skin.
- Executive summary:
This in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of the test material by means of the Human Skin Model Test.
The test item did not reduce MTT (test for direct MTT reduction), and it did not changen colour when mixed with deionised water (test for colour interference). Also its intrinsic colour was not intensive. Consequently, additional tests with freeze-killed or viable tissues were not necessary. Each three tissues of the human skin model EpiDerm™ were treated with the test item, the negative or the positive control for 60 minutes. 30 µL of the test item were applied to each tissue and spread to match the surface of the tissue. 30 µL of either the negative control (DPBS) or the positive control (5% SLS) were applied to each tissue. After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well within the required range of the acceptability criterion of mean OD = 0.8 and = 2.8 for the 60 minutes treatment interval, thus assuring the quality of the tissues.
Treatment with the positive control induced a sufficient decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control for the 60 minutes treatment interval, and thus assuring the validity of the test system. After treatment with the test item ethyl isovalerate the mean relative absorbance value decreased to 8.8% compared to the relative absorbance value of the negative control. This value is below the threshold for irritancy of = 50%. Therefore, the test item is considered to possess an irritant potential.
