In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Details on test system:
Supplier : SkinEthic Laboratories, Lyon, France
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount/concentration applied:
The test item was applied topically to the corresponding tissues ensuring uniform covering. 5 μL of sterile distilled water was topically applied to the epidermal surface in order to improve contact between the test item and the epidermis. Approximately 10 mg (26.3 mg/cm2) of the test item was then applied to the epidermal surface
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Triplicate tissues were treated with the test item for an exposure period of 15 minutes.
Number of replicates:
Three treatment replicates
