Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on study design:

Each treatment group (test substance, NC and PC) consisted of 3 corneas.
750 μL of the undiluted test substance was applied directly to the epithelial surface of the cornea. Control tissues were concurrently applied into the anterior chamber with 750 μL of de-ionized water (negative control, NC) or with 750 μL of 1% (w/v) solution of sodium hydroxide in deionized
water (positive control, PC). The corneas were incubated in a horizontal position at about 32 °C for approximately 10 minutes (liquids and surfactants). The NC and PC were then removed from the anterior chamber using a syringe and the epithelium was washed at least 3 times with Eagle’s MEM (containing phenol red) and once with Eagle’s MEM (without phenol red). Both chambers were then refilled with fresh Eagle’s MEM (without phenol red).
The amount of sodium fluorescein that permeated through the corneas into the posterior chamber was measured spectrophotometrically. Three aliquots per cornea were transferred to a 96-well microtiter plate and the optical density (OD490) was determined.

CONTROLS
Negative control (NC): De-ionized water
Positive control (PC): Sodium hydroxide 1% (w/v) solution in de-ionized water for liquid test substances and surfactants
