Cytotoxicity of magnesium membrane extracts at different concentrations.
| Extract Concentration | Percent Viability | Cytotoxic Potential |
|---|---|---|
| 100% | 11.3%a | Cytotoxic |
| 50% | 1.2% | Cytotoxic |
| 25% | 1.4% | Cytotoxic |
| 12.50% | 57.1% | Cytotoxic |
| 6.25% | 74.3% | Not Cytotoxic |
| 3.13% | 78.3% | Not Cytotoxic |
Extracts from the magnesium membrane were evaluated for sensitization reactions using an albino guinea pig model (Magnusson-Kligman test). Under the conditions of the study, neither the polar nor apolar (n = 5 per group) extracts caused delayed sensitization, thus the magnesium membrane is not considered to be a sensitizer.

Overestimation due to presence of particulates in one well tested even after several cell rinses.
