clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin sites of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): the test patch (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) was moistened with a dose of 0.5 mL unchanged liquid test substance
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
8 days
Number of animals:
2 males, 1 female
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: upper third of the back or flanks
- Type of wrap if used: the test substance has been covered with a test patch (idealbinde, pfaelzische verbandstoff-fabrik, Kaiserslautern) and Fixomull® stretch (adhesive sleeve), Beiderdorf AG
