IN VITRO MODEL
- Source: Episkin Model Kit from SkinEthic Laboratories, Nice france
- Date received: 30 Mar 2010
- Description: The EPISKINTM model is a three-dimensional reconstituted human epidermis model consisting of adult human-derived epidermal keratinocytes seeded on a dermal substitute consisting of a collagen type I matrix coated with type IV collagen. A highly differentiated and stratified epidermis model is obtained after a 13 day culture period comprising the main basal, supra basal, spinous and granular layers and a functional stratum corneum.

Test system

Type of coverage:
other: applied topically
Preparation of test site:
other: in vitro cells
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: Negative control (NaCL) and positve control (glacial acetic acid)
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Concentration: 20 mg of test material added to 2.2 mL of a 0.3 mg/mL MTT (yellow tetrazolium salt) solution solution freshly prepared and incubated in the dark at room temperature

VEHICLE
- Concentration: 0.3 mg/mL MTT
Duration of treatment / exposure:
3, 60 an 240 minutes (test material)
240 min (negative and postive control)
Observation period:
After removal of test material and tissue was rinsed the MTT solution was added and tissues were incubated for 3 h at room temperature (protected from light)
Details on study design:
Duplicate tissues were treated with the test material for exposure periods of 3, 60 and 240 minutes. At the end of the exposure period the test material was rinsed from each tissue before each tissue was taken for MTT-loading. After MTT loading a total biopsy of each epidermis was made and placed into micro tubes containing acidified isopropanol for extraction of formazan crystals out of the MTT-loaded tissues.

At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was mixed thoroughly and duplicate 200 µl samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labelled 96 well plate. The optical density was measured at 540 nm.

Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT reduction in the test material treated tissues relative to negative control tissues).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: non-corrosive
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material was considered to be Non-Corrosive to the skin and accredited the EU risk phrase of No label and a UN packing group Non-Corrosive.
Executive summary:

In the in vitro skin corrosivity potential test with the EpiskinTM reconstituted human epidermis model (according to OECD 431) dineodymium tricarbonate was tested for 3, 60, and 240 minutes. The EpiskinTM model is able to distinguish between corrosive and non-corrosive chemicals for purposed of UN and EU labeling. Duplicate tissues were treated. At the end of exposure viability was assessed based on the MTT reduction in the test material treated tissues relative to the negative control tissues. The relative mean viabilitiy of the test material treated materials was 100.4%, 107.4%, and 91.4% after 240, 60, and 3 minutes. The test material was considered to be NON-Corrosive to the skin and accredited the EU risk phrase of NO label and a UN packing group Non-Corrosive.
