Details on test system:

6.4.1 Specification
The test system is a commercially available EpiDermTM-Kit, procured by MatTek.
The EpiDermTM tissue consists of human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multi-layered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers representing main
lipid classes analogous to those found in vivo. The EpiDermTM tissues are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts.
6.4.2 Origin
EpiDermTM tissues were procured from MatTek In Vitro Life Science Laboratories, Brati-slava.
Designation of the kit: EPI-200-SIT
Day of delivery: 25. Jul. 2017
Batch no.: 25832

Amount/concentration applied:

The test item was tested for the ability of direct MTT reduction. To test for this ability, 25.3 mg test item were added to 1 mL of MTT solution and the mixture was incubated in the dark at 37 ± 1°C and 5.0 ± 0.5% CO2 for 1 hour. Untreated MTT solution was used as control.
The MTT solution did not change its colour within 1 hour. Therefore, direct MTT reduction by the test item had not taken place and no data correction was necessary.

Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):

After a total incubation time of 42 hours 45 minutes, a 24-well-plate was prepared with 300 µL freshly prepared MTT-solution in each well.
