Acclimatization Period: 8 days

Animal Identification: Colour coding, cage labels

Guinea pigs were housed in separate quarters in solid bottom cages, 5 per cage.
Individual animals were identified by colour coding; the animal number and group
number also appeared on the outside of each cage to preclude mix-up. The animal
room environment was controlled (targeted ranges: temperature 18ºC to 26ºC, relative
humidity 30-70% minimum 10 air changes per hour) and monitored. The photo-cycle
was 12 hours light and 12 hours dark. Upon arrival all animals were submitted to a
general physical examination and all were found healthy and were admitted. The
cage cleaning schedule, air filtration and recirculation, health checks and facility
maintenance were carried out in accordance with the applicable Nucro-Technics’
Standard Operating Procedures, and such activities were recorded in the animal room
records.
Animals were housed and maintained according to the AAALAC International Guide
for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, CCAC Guidelines for Care and Use of
Experimental Animals and Nucro-Technics’ Standard Operating Procedures.

Teklad Guinea Pig Diet and water were offered ad libitum throughout the
acclimatization and study periods.

Details on study design:
Three groups of Hartley guinea pigs were used. Twenty animals were in the test group, ten
animals in the solvent control group and five animals were in the positive control group.
The test item, HF-1000 Solvent, was applied “as is” to 2.5 x 2.5 cm gauze patches. The
gauze patches were then topically applied for a 6-hour exposure period to the shaved left
flanks of 20 guinea pigs on Days 0, 7 and 13. The applications on Days 0, 7 and 13
represented the induction phase of the study. 14 Days after the final induction application
(Day 27), a 2.5 x 2.5 cm gauze patch loaded with the test item, HF-1000 Solvent, was
applied to the shaved right flank of each animal in the Test Group for a 6-hour exposure
period. This application represented the challenge application.
A naïve control group, consisting of 10 animals was used. During the induction phase (Days
0, 7, and 13) the left flank of each control animal was shaved and a blank 2.5 x 2.5 cm gauze
patch was applied on each animal. On Day 27 (Challenge Phase), the test item, HF-1000
Solvent, was applied to the shaved right flank of each control animal for a 6-hour exposure
period.

A group of 5 positive control animals was subjected to identical procedures as outlined above
for the test group of animals (induction phase), with the exception that the positive control
item, 0.3% 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB), was substituted as a reference substance.
During the challenge phase, the positive control item (0.1% DNCB) was applied to the
shaved right flank of each positive control animal.

An evaluation of skin reaction was carried out and recorded at 24 hours and 48 hours after
completion of each application.
Challenge controls:
The animals in the positive control group were subjected to similar
procedures and evaluations on Days 0, 7 and 13 as described for the animals
in the test item-treated group with the exception that 0.3% w/v DNCB was
substituted as a reference substance.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB)

Executive summary:

A skin sensitization study of the test item, HF-1000 Solvent, in guinea pigs was carried out by Nucro-Technics according to Study Plan No. INT/296962. Three groups of Hartley guinea pigs were used. Twenty animals were in the test group, ten animals in the solvent control group and five animals were in the positive control group. The test item, HF-1000 Solvent, was applied “as is” to 2.5 x 2.5 cm gauze patches. The gauze patches were then topically applied for a 6-hour exposure period to the shaved left flanks of 20 guinea pigs on Days 0, 7 and 13. The applications on Days 0, 7 and 13 represented the induction phase of the study. 14 Days after the final induction application (Day 27), a 2.5 x 2.5 cm gauze patch loaded with the test item, HF-1000 Solvent, was applied to the shaved right flank of each animal in the Test Group for a 6-hour exposure period. This application represented the challenge application. A naïve control group, consisting of 10 animals was used. During the induction phase (Days 0, 7, and 13) the left flank of each control animal was shaved and a blank 2.5 x 2.5 cm gauze patch was applied on each animal. On Day 27 (Challenge Phase), the test item, HF-1000 Solvent, was applied to the shaved right flank of each control animal for a 6-hour exposure period. A group of 5 positive control animals was subjected to identical procedures as outlined above for the test group of animals (induction phase), with the exception that the positive control item, 0.3% 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB), was substituted as a reference substance. During the challenge phase, the positive control item (0.1% DNCB) was applied to the shaved right flank of each positive control animal. An evaluation of skin reaction was carried out and recorded at 24 hours and 48 hours after completion of each application. None of the guinea pigs administered the test item had any signs of local skin irritation after the induction applications or after the challenge period. All 5 of the positive control animals showed a positive response. Based on these findings, the test item, HF-1000 Solvent, was found to be non-sensitizing in a Buehler Skin Sensitization Study in guinea pigs.
