Constituent 1
Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 1.6-2.1 kg
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: Untreated eye.
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1ml
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Single instillation, not rinsed.
- Observation period (in vivo):
- Eyes were observed at 24, 48 and 72 hours and scored for irritation.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 6
- Details on study design:
- SCORING SYSTEM: Eye irritation was determined according to the method outlined in the "Illustrated Guide for Grading Eye Irritation by Hazardous Substances" (Total possible score 110). If at the end of 72 hours ocular damage appears to be remissable (reversible), the animal is observed for additional 4-7 days before final scoring is possible.
