- Composition: 95% C.I. Pigment Red 48 - Calcium Salt and 5% modified wood rosin derivative

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: bred on the premises
- Age at study initiation: 10 - 13 weeks
- Housing: single caging
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum) :ad libitum
- Acclimation period: one week


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20°C
- Humidity (%): 50 - 70%
- Air changes (per hr): no data
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 10 hours daily from 08:00 - 18:00 hours

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 g per eye
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single application. For half of the treated eyes, the eyes were rinsed with 200 mL of water 30 seconds after application.
Observation period (in vivo):
14 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males and 3 females
Details on study design:
The rabbits were examined at 1,6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test compound and for any further period that was considered necessary. The ocular reactions were scored by the method described in "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Food Drugs and Cosmetics" page 51, published by the Association of Food and Drug Officials of the U.S.A. Corneal damage was assessed after staining with flourescein.
