- Details on study design:
- Two tissues per exposure time (3 minutes at room temperature or 1 hour in the incubator, as a rule) and test group (test material, negative control (NC) and positive control (PC); 12 tissues per test) were used. In addition, one killed tissue per exposure time was treated with the test substance and NC, respectively, in order to detect direct MTT reduction. Control tissues were concurrently applied with 50 μL of de-ionized water (NC) or with 50 μL of 8 n potassium hydroxide (PC) or test substance (killed tissue control, KC).
Tissue destruction was determined by measuring the metabolic activity of the tissue after exposure using a colorimetric test. The reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, measured by reduced formazan production after incubation with a tetrazolium salt (MTT) was chosen as endpoint. The formazan production of the test substance treated epidermal tissues is compared to that of negative control tissues. The quotient of the values indicates the relative tissue viability.
Acceptance criteria:
In case one of the below given acceptance criteria is not covered, repetition of the test was considered.
Assay acceptance criterion for the negative control (NC):
The absolute OD570 of the negative control tissues in the MTT test is an indicator of tissue viability obtained in the testing laboratory after the shipping and storing procedure and under specific conditions of the assay. Tissue viability is acceptable if the mean OD570 of the NC is ≥ 1.0. The mean OD570 of the NC should not exceed 2.5.
Assay acceptance criterion for the positive control (PC):
Potassium hydroxide as 8.0 normal ready made solution is used as positive reference. A 3-minute treatment with 8.0 n KOH usually reveals a mean relative tissue viability of ~20%. An assay is acceptable if mean relative tissue viability of the 3 min positive control is ≤ 30%.
Assay acceptance criterion for tissue variability:
For every treatment, except the killed controls, 2 tissues corrosion test are treated in parallel. The inter-tissue variability is considered to be acceptable if the difference of the OD570 values of the two tissues is ≤ 0.3 (corrosion test).
Assay acceptance criterion for killed controls (KC):
The OD570 of the killed control tissues treated as negative control should be ≤ 0.35.
Evaluation criteria:
Corrosive potential of the test materials is predicted from the mean relative tissue viabilities obtained after 3 min treatment compared to the negative control tissues concurrently treated with de-ionized water. A chemical is considered as "corrosive", if the mean relative tissue viability after 3 min treatment with a test material is decreased below 50%. In addition, those materials with a viability of ≥ 50% after 3 min treatment are considered as "corrosive" if the mean relative tissue viability after 1 hour treatment with a test material is decreased below 15%. Although the method is not finally validated for categorizing the severity of corrosivity according to certain classification and labeling systems, it is suggested to use the most stringent category for test substances leading to viabilities below 50% after 3 min treatment.
Results and discussion
In vivo
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- After 3 minute exposure with the test substance the viability was 95% and after 1 hour 13%, respectively.

Due to the ability of the test substance to reduce MTT directly, a KC was applied in parallel.
However, the result of the KC did not indicate an increased MTT reduction (difference to KC of NC is not greater than 0.1). Thus the KC was not used for viability calculation.
