Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
4 hours
Details on study design:
After the initial incubation, the medium was changed and the baseline opacity for each cornea was recorded. None of the corneas showed tissue damage; therefore, all corneas were used. For each treatment group (negative control solution, test item and positive control), three replicates were used. After removal of the pre-incubation medium (cMEM without phenol red), 750 µL of negative control solution, test item suspension and positive control solution were applied to each replicate.
