Received on November 22, 2016
Tested on January 31, 2017
Specific details on test material used for the study:
ColaTeric LAB-70UP product was supplied by Colonial for this test.
The lot # was 55880C17. This product contains lauryl betaine (C12) at 35% active strength in water.

Test system

Vehicle:
physiological saline
Controls:
yes, concurrent positive control
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount / concentration applied:
The ColaTeric product was applied at 10% in saline. This infers that the strength of the active that was applied was 3.5%
A volume of 0.75ml was applied uniformly to the bovine cornea under conditions specified in the method.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
10 minutes, followed by a minimum of three washes.
Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
2 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Three corneas were used per article.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the sample eliicited an average in vitro score of 30.7.
The positive control elicited an average in vitro score of 46.0.
Under the decision cirteria of this test, these values fall within the 'No prdictions can be made' category, but is close to the level for th positive control and threfore a classification of Eye Irrit 2 is recommended.
Note that it was impossible to remove water and classification is basedon the 35% actives material as supplied.
