REMOVAL OF THE TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROL
At the end of the exposure periods, the test item, positive and negative control was removed immediately by gently rinsing with a minimum volume of 20 mL DPBS using a pipette. Excess DPBS was removed by gently shaking the tissue inserts and blotting the bottom of the tissue inserts with blotting paper.
