unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: in vitro method: positive (10% w/v Benzalkonium Chloride) and negative (physiological saline) controls were utlilized.
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.75 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Corneas were incubated with the test article for 10 minutes at 32 degrees C.
Observation period (in vivo):
Following the 10 minute exposure, the corneas were rinsed and incubated in cell culture medium for 120 minutes. Opacity readings were conducted following the 120 minute incubation. The corneas were then placed in Na-fluorescein medium and incubated for 90 minutes. Following the indubations, permeability was measured.

Executive summary:

The corneal irritation and damage potential of the test article (Clear colorless liquid, Batch: 41260127919/Lot 2) was tested in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test (BCOP test). The study was performed in compliance with OECD GLP (98) 17 (1997). The test method was based on OECD no. 437 (2009), EC No. 440/2008 B. 47 (2010), OTWG- ICCVAM-NICEATM (2006), INVITTOX 127 (2006), and Gautheron, P. et al. 18: 442-449 (1992). Corneas were prepared in cell culture medium and incubated at 32 C for at least 1 hour prior to exposure. Corneas (3/group) were treated with 0.75 mL of undiluted MTDID 30531 test material and incubated in a horizontal position for 10 minutes at 32 C. A positive control (10% w/v Benzalkonium Chloride) and a negative control (physiological saline) were tested in parallel with the test material. At the end of the exposure period, the corneas were rinsed and incubated in fresh cell culture medium for 120 +/- 10 minutes at 32 C. Opacity was evaluated using an opacitometer after the 2 hour post-exposure incubation. Following opacity readings, the cell culture medium was replaced with Na-fluorescein medium and incubated for approximately 90 minutes at 32 C. Following the 90 minute Na-fluorescein exposure, permeability was measured. The mean in vitro irritation score (IVIS) was calculated and the scores were classified according to protocol defined categories. For the test article, the mean IVIS = -1.0 after 10 minutes. The mean opacity score was -1 and the mean permeability score was -0.001 (range -0.007 to 0.007). Controls performed as expected. No pH effect of the test substance was observed on the rinsing medium. Based on the results of the study, the test article is not an irritant to the cornea (IVIS = -1.0).
