Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method B.40 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test (TER))
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The experiment was carried out on a reconstructed human epidermis EST-1000 (CellSystems, St. Katharinen, Germany) for detection of topically applied skin corrosives with the test item 6-tert-Butyl-m-kresol.
A 100% concentration was tested on the skin/epidermal equivalents in triplicate. For the determination of time related cytotoxic effects the incubation periods were 3 min. and 60 min., respectively. Thus, the study was conducted in accordance with the OECD 431 guideline as well as with an EC guideline (amending Council Directive 67/548/EEC, B.40 Skin corrosion) using the test item concentrations and incubation periods recommended there. These tests are also related to the revised OECD 404 guideline "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion".
To check the reliability of this test procedure a blinded positive/negative control study is conducted at regular intervals in the lab. This reliability check is always performed by two technicians, in two laboratories in parallel using the same batches of the control test items.
The test item was applied at a 100% concentration, i.e. 50 µl per insert.
GLP compliance:
yes
