Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 50 µL

Duration of treatment / exposure:

3 minute and 1 hour exposures were conducted.

Observation period:

Following the exposure periods, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The DMEM medium was replaced with 300 µL MTT medium and then all tissues were again incubated for 3 hours at 37 C in 5% CO2. The tissues were then washed with PBS and formazan was extracted with 2 mL isopropanol.

Number of animals:

None: in vitro method

Details on study design:

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Following the exposure periods, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS).
- Time after start of exposure: 3 minutes or 1 hour.

SCORING SYSTEM: The DMEM medium was replaced with 300 µL MTT medium and then all tissues were again incubated for 3 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2. The tissues were then washed with PBS and formazan was extracted with 2 mL isopropanol. The amount of extracted formazan was determined spectrophotometrically at 540 nm in triplicate. Cell viability was then calculated as a percentage of the mean of the control tissues, and skin corrosion potential calculated from the optical density at 540 nm (OD540) measurements.

Conclusions:

Based on the results of the study, the test article is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test model.

Executive summary:

The skin corrosion potential of the test article (clear colourless liquid, Purity: 99.64%, Lot: 12912) was evaluated in an in vitro human skin model test. This study was performed in compliance with OECD GLP (1997). The study design was based on OECD Guideline No. 431 (2013) and EC 440/2008 (2008).

 

Human-derived keratinocytes were cultured to form a multi-layered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis (EpiDerm EPI-200 model). The tissues were kept refrigerated until the day of use, transferred to 6 well plates containing 0.9 mL DMEM medium, and then incubated for 2 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2. The test article (50 µL) was applied to 2 tissues for a 3 minute exposure and to 2 tissues for 1 hour exposure. The negative control (Milli-Q water) and the positive control (8N Potassium hydroxide) were applied (50 µL of each) in the same manner. Following the exposure periods, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The DMEM medium was replaced with 300 µL MTT medium and then all tissues were again incubated for 3 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2. The tissues were then washed with PBS and formazan was extracted with 2 mL isopropanol. The amount of extracted formazan was determined spectrophotometrically at 540 nm in triplicate. Cell viability was then calculated as a percentage of the mean of the control tissues, and skin corrosion potential calculated from the optical density at 540 nm (OD540) measurements.

 

The mean tissue viability of the test article was 70% of the negative control after a 3 minute exposure and 89% after 1 hour exposure. The controls performed as expected indicating that the test was valid.

 

Based on the results of the study, the test article is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test model.
