Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley
Sex:
female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Species and strain: Rat Hsd: Sprague Dawley® SD®
Sex: Female
Colour: Albino
Supplier: Envigo RMS Spain S.L.
Health status: Specific Pathogen Free (SPF). The health monitoring report provided by the animal supplier will be stored at Vivotecnia.
Rationale for selection of species / strain: Rats are a suitable rodent species, acceptable to regulatory authorities as indicators of potential hazards, and for which extensive background data are available. Literature surveys of conventional LD50 tests showed that, although there is little difference in sensitivity between the sexes, in those cases where differences were observed females are generally slightly more sensitive.
Total number of animals: 6 animals to perform 3 dose steps.
Approx. age of the animals on arrival: 8 weeks old.
Animals per cage after distribution: 3
Bedding material: Sodispan SR-CHOPO-T.
Change of cages: At least once a week
Inclusion criteria on arrival: Prior to inclusion in the study, animals were subjected to individual veterinary examination. Only animals without clear visible sign of illness that may interfere with the study were included.
Acclimatisation period and distribution: 5 days. Animals were randomly distributed by means of the body weight stratification method. 20% of the mean body weight (for the first defined dose at the beginning of the study and further dose steps).
Animal identification: Digit ink marks.
