The test substance was not able to directly reduce MTT. Viability of the test substance treated tissues determined after an exposure period of 3 minutes and 1 hour was 103% and 104%, respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Remarks:
Procedure only excludes potential for skin corrosion
Conclusions:
Based on these results it was concluded that Tetrahydrogeranylaceton does not have a corrosive potential in the EpiDerm skin corrosivity test under the chosen conditions.
Executive summary:

Two EpiDerm tissue samples were incubated with the test substance for 3 minutes and 1 hour, respectively. Tissue destruction was determined by measuring the metabolic activity of the tissue after exposure using a colorimetric test. The reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, measured by reduced formazan production after incubation with a tetrazolium salt (MTT) was chosen as suitable endpoint. The formazan production of the test substance treated epidermal tissues is compared to that of negative control tissues. The quotient of both values indicates the relative tissue viability.
