Direct MTT reduction

The MTT solution containing the test material did not turn blue/purple. This was taken to indicate the test material did not reduce MTT

The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 9.2% relative to the negative control treated tissues following the 240 -minute exposure period. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
