Details on test system:

RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EPISKIN Standard ModelTM(EPISKIN-SMTM, 0.38 cm^2
- Tissue batch number(s):

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure:
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Washing: phosphate buffered saline
- Time after start of exposure: 15 minutes

TEST FOR DIRECT MTT REDUCTION AND COLOUR INTERFERENCE
Cholesteryl acetate was checked for possible direct MTT reduction and for possible color interference in the in vitro skin corrosion study 20141290.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 0.3 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 hours
- Microplate reader: TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate Reader
- Wavelength: 570 nm

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3

NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TEST SEQUENCES / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: 1 exposure time.

EVALUATION
The corrected OD (ODc) for each sample or control will be calculated by subtracting the value of the blank mean (ODbl) from each reading (ODraw).
ODc = ODraw – ODbl

The OD value representing 100% cell viability is the average OD of the negative controls (ODlt_u+MTT).
The %Viability for each sample and positive control is calculated as follows:
%Viability = (ODc/mean ODlt_u+MTT) * 100

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA: see Table 1

ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA:
The in vitro skin irritation test is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The absolute mean OD570 of the three tissues of the negative control should reasonably be within the laboratory historical control data range and the Standard Deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be <=18.
b) The mean relative tissue viability of the positive control should be <=40% relative to the negative control and the Standard Deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be <=18.
c) The SD calculated from individual % tissue viabilities of the three identically treated replicates should be <=18

Control samples:

yes, concurrent negative control

yes, concurrent positive control
