T/HPCIA 004-2021 Acute toxicity of cosmetics determination using zebrafish embryos method
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This standard specifies the methodological principles and operating procedures for evaluating the acute toxicity of cosmetics in zebrafish embryo experiments. This standard is applicable to the evaluation of the acute toxicity of cosmetics (creams, lotions, gels, serums, etc.) and cosmetic raw materials; Main technical content: Using a 6-well cell culture plate, under the control of a blank control or solvent control, zebrafish embryos aged 6–8 hours post-fertilization (hpf) are placed in samples of different concentrations and cultured at 28±0.5°C for 72 hours. Based on the toxicity response of the embryos to the test samples (embryo survival, development, and malformation), the cumulative survival rate, cumulative hatching rate, and cumulative malformation rate are calculated to characterize the acute toxicity of the samples.
