Amount / concentration applied:
The test item was applied at a 100% concentration, i.e. 25 mg per insert. (plus 50 µL 0.9% NaCl to moisten and ensure good contact with the skin)
Duration of treatment / exposure:

Number of animals:
not applicable, in-vitro test
Details on study design:
The experiment was carried out on a reconstructed human epidermis EST-1000 (CellSystems, St. Katharinen, Germany) for detection of topically applied skin corrosives.
A 100% concentration was tested on the skin/epidermal equivalents in triplets. For the determination of time related cytotoxic effects the incubation periods were 3 min. and 60 min., respectively.
To check the reliability of this test procedure a blinded positive/negative control study is conducted at regular intervals in the lab. This reliability check is always performed by two technicians, two laboratories in parallel using the same batches of the control test items.
The test item was applied at a 100% concentration, i.e. 25 mg per insert. (plus 50 µL 0.9% NaCl to moisten and ensure good contact with the skin).

After the incubation period the inserts were washed carefully in PBS and MTT reduction was performed. For viability testing the inserts were placed in new 24 well plates containing 300µl of MTT solution (37°C, 1mg/mL in MTT-assay medium, delivered by Cell Systems®). The tissues were incubated for about 2 hours under cell culture conditions (5% CO2, 37°C, max humidity). The extraction of blue formazan was performed in Isopropanol (24 well plates, 2ml / insert) on a vertical shaker (at least 60 min.). For determination of cell viability the absorption of the Isopropanol-extracts were measured in duplicates at 570 nm in an automatic reader (EL808, Bio-Tek; 96 well format, 200 µL).

Substances are classified as „corrosive (R34)“, if the cell viability of the EST 1000 is decreased by more than 50% after 3 min. of incubation to the test item, or if the cell viability is less than 15% after 60 min. of exposure to the test item
