In-vitro dermal absorption
This webinar provides a clear and practical overview of in vitro skin penetration studies conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 428 and EFSA 2017 guidance. It covers radiolabeled and non‑radiolabeled approaches, the analysis of skin compartments, and specific considerations for volatile, photosensitive, or hydrolysis‑sensitive substances in a regulatory context.
Objectives and skills
By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand the key steps of an in vitro dermal absorption study, including methodological choices, static vs dynamic systems, occlusion conditions, receptor fluid selection, and analytical validation.
- Identify the strengths and limitations of radiolabeled versus non‑radiolabeled approaches.
- Recognize analytical and methodological challenges associated with volatile, photosensitive, or hydrolysis‑sensitive substances.
- Assess the quality and regulatory acceptability of data generated for submission dossiers.
Public and prerequisites
Target audience:
- Regulatory affairs professionals
- Toxicologists and product safety experts
- R&D scientists (cosmetics, biocides, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals)
- Project or quality managers involved in dermal absorption studies
Prerequisites:
No strict prerequisite. General knowledge of in vitro studies or regulatory frameworks is helpful but not required.
