Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Dermal Irritection Assay System (refinement of the former Skintex method).It is an in-vitro irritation prediction method that uses non-human substrates as a biomembrane barrier macromolecular matrix system. In particular former Skintex (TM) used a two-compartment physico-chemical model incorporating a keratine/collagen membrane barrier and an ordered macromolecular matrix. When irritating agents are applied to the matrix of the test, they produce effects as they produce nucleation of particles that make the matrix cloudy proportionally with the aggressiveness of the substance. This phenomenon can be quantified with an optical density spectrophotometer measurement, that according to the protocol, is revelead at 450 nm. Due to the fact that the exposure time is a critical point, a semi-permeable membrane with tailored porosity is used which allows to clearly detect the maximum opacification point. A direct correlation between the Patch test and the scale determined with Dermal Irritection protocol was also determined and used for quantification of the results.
