In vivo (non-LLNA)

Results
Group:
test chemical
No. with + reactions:
15
Total no. in group:
15
Remarks on result:
positive indication of skin sensitisation

Any other information on results incl. tables

100% of the treated guinea pigs showed a positive reaction. Based on a self-made ranking and classification system (Gad,1988), hydroxylamine sulfate has to be classified in class III (moderate sensitizer).
