Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

ADMINISTRATION / EXPOSURE
- Type: colony bred rats
- Strain: Swiss albino
- weight at study initiation: 100-120 g
- Type of exposure: single intratesticular or subcutaneous
injection.

- Duration of test/exposure: 7 days
