In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
other: Reconstructed Human Epidermis
Cell source:
other: not specified
Source strain:
not specified
Justification for test system used:
This model incorporates several features, which make it advantageous in the study of potential dermal corrosivity. The target cells are epithelial, derived from human skin, and formed into a stratified, cornified epithelium. Test items are applied to the culture surface, at the air interface, so that undiluted and/or end use dilutions can be tested directly.

Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDerm™ Reconstructed Human Epidermis Model Kit
- Tissue batch number(s): 25835
- Delivery date: 08 August 2017
- Date of initiation of testing: 09 August 2017

- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37 °C,
- MTT concentration: 1.0 mg/mL MTT solution
- Incubation time: 60 minutes
- Spectrophotometer: Labtech LT-4500 microplate reader
