Details on test system:

Three-dimensional human epidermis model
The EpiDermTM model consists of normal, 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 arranged in patterns analogous to those found in vivo. The EpiDermTM tissues (surface 0.6 cm²) are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts (MILLICELLs ®, 10 mm ø) and commercially available as kits (EpiDerm™ 200) containing 24 tissues on shipping agarose.
Tissue model: EPI-200
Tissue Lot Number: 25800
Origin: MatTek In Vitro Life Science Laboratories, Bratislava, Slovakia
Irritation test:
On the day of arrival in the laboratory, the tissues were transferred to sterile 6-well plates with 0.9 mL assay medium and preconditioned in the incubator at 37°C. After 1 hour, the pre-incubation medium was replaced by fresh medium and reconditioning continued for 18 ± 3 hours. Three tissues were treated with the test substance, the PC and the NC, respectively. Thirty microliters (30 μL) undiluted liquid test substance were applied by using a pipette. Control tissues were concurrently treated with 30 μL sterile PBS (NC) or with 30 μL 5% SDS (PC). A nylon mesh was carefully placed onto the tissue surface afterwards. The tissues were kept under the laminar flow hood at room temperature for 25 minutes overall and for 35 minutes in the incubator.
The tissues were washed with sterile PBS to remove residual test material 1 hour after start of application. Rinsed tissues were blotted on sterile absorbent paper and transferred into new 6-well plates pre-filled with 0.9 mL fresh medium. When all tissues were rinsed the surface of each tissue was carefully dried with a sterile cotton swab. Subsequently, the tissues were placed into the incubator at 37°C for 24 ± 2 hours. After 24 ± 2 hours, the tissues were transferred into new 6-well plates pre-filled with
0.9 mL fresh medium and placed into the incubator for an additional 18 ± 2-hour post-incubation period.
After the post-incubation period, the assay medium was replaced by 0.3 mL MTT solution and the tissues were incubated in the incubator for 3 hours. After incubation, the tissues were washed with PBS to stop the MTT incubation. The formazan that was metabolically produced by the tissues was extracted by incubation of the tissues in isopropanol. The optical density at a wavelength of 570 nm (OD570) of the extracts was spectrophotometrically determined. Blank values were established of 4 microtiter wells filled with isopropanol for each microtiter plate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the results observed and by applying the evaluation criteria, it was concluded that C9-11 Methacrylate does not show a skin irritation potential in the EpiDerm™ in vitro skin irritation and corrosion test strategy under the test conditions chosen.
