Strain:

New Zealand White

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Animal supplier: Dr. K. Thomae GmbH, Biberach, FRG
Age: Young adult animals.
Identification: Ear Tattoo.
Room Temperature/relative humidity: Animals were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms. Central air-conditioning guaranteed a range of 20-24°C for temperature and of 30-70% for relative humidity. There were no deviations from these ranges which influenced the results of the study.
Day/Night rhythm: 12h / 12h (6.00 a.m. - 6.00 p.m./6.00 p.m. - 6.00 a.m.)
Type of cage: stainless steel wire mesh cages with grating.
Floor area: 3000 cm2.
No. of animals per cage: single housing.
Drinking water: about 250 ml tap water per animal per day.
Diet: Kliba-Labordiät 341, Klingentalmuehle AG Kaiseraugst, Switzerland. About 130 g per animal per day.
Acclimatization period: at least one week.

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

other: clipping

Vehicle:

other: test substance moistened with aqua bidest

Controls:

yes, concurrent no treatment

Amount / concentration applied:

0.5 g

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Exposure: 4 hours.

Observation period:

72 hours

Number of animals:

3 female

Details on study design:

At least 24 hours before the test, the fur was removed by clipping the dorsal part of the trunk of the animal(s). Only animals with healthy intact skin have been used. The test substance was removed at the end of the exposure period with Lutrol and Lutrol/Water (1:1).
Application site: upper third of back or flanks.
Readings: 1h, 24h, 48h, and 72h.
Mortality: A check for any dead or moribund animal was made twice each workday and once on saturdays, sundays and on public holidays.
