In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Details on test system:
The 0.50 cm² reconstructed epidermises (Episkin) were received on 27 February 2018. The same day, the insert (filter + epidermis) was gently removed from the agarose while avoiding leaving agarose on the polycarbonate filter. The inserts were placed in 6 wells culture plate which had been previously filled with 300 μL of growth medium (Episkin) during 2 hours and 40 minutes. Then just before treatment, the inserts were placed in 24 wells culture plate which had been previously filled with 300 μL of maintenance medium (Episkin).
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount/concentration applied:
16 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
during 42 minutes
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
41 hours and 45 minutes post-incubation period
Number of replicates:
3 living Reconstructed Human epidermis
