Origin
Fresh bovine eyes were obtained from the slaughterhouse Müller Fleisch GmbH, Enzstr. 2-4, 75217 Birkenfeld, Germany, on the day of the test. The cattle were between 12 and 60 months old. The eyes were transported to the test facility in Hank’s balanced salt solution (supplemented with 0.01% streptomycin and 0.01% penicillin). Then, the corneas were dissected and incubated in medium at 32 ± 1 °C in an incubation chamber for 1 h.

- Details on study design:
- Preparations
After having carefully cleaned and sterilised the cornea holders, they were kept in the incubation chamber at 32 ± 1 °C.
On the day of the assay, the MEM without phenol red was supplemented with sodium bicarbonate, L-glutamine and 1% fetal calf serum (= complete MEM) and stored in a water bath at 32 ± 1 °C.
The same was performed with the MEM with phenol red, but without addition of sodium bicarbonate.
After the arrival of the corneas, they were examined and only corneas which were free from damages were used. The corneas were excised with a scalpel and cut from the globe with a 2-3 mm ring of sclera around the outside. Each cornea was transferred to a cornea holder in which pre-warmed cMEM (32 ± 1 °C) without phenol red was filled. The holders were then incubated for 1 hour in the incubation chamber at 32 ± 1 °C.

Incubation time 10 min.
Negative control HBSS solution
Positive control Dimethylformamide (undiluted)
Method Description
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 negative control solution, test item and positive control were applied to each replicate.
According to the characteristics of the test item, the following treatment procedure was performed:
Closed Chamber Method
The “closed chamber-method” is used for liquid substances.
The respective substance (negative control solution, test item or positive control) was applied by pipetting 750 μL of the appropriate liquid through the refill hole in the holder on the cornea. The test item was given on the epithelium in such a manner that as much as possible of the cornea was covered with the test item.
Exposure time on the corneas was 10 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After thorough rinsing with cMEM with phenol red and final rinsing with cMEM without phenol red, the anterior chamber was filled with cMEM without phenol red, and the corneas were stored for additional 2 hours at 32 ± 1 °C (post-incubation).
After the post-incubation, the cMEM without phenol red was renewed in both chambers.
Then, the final opacity value of each cornea was recorded. The cMEM without phenol red was removed from the front chamber, and 1 mL sodium fluorescein solution (concentration: 4 mg/mL) was added to the front chamber.
The chambers were then closed again and incubated for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After incubation, the content of the posterior chamber was thoroughly mixed. Then, the permeability of the liquid was measured with the spectrophotometer at 492 nm.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- This in vitro study was performed to assess corneal damage potential of Hatcol 3178 by quantitative measurements of changes in opacity and permeability in a bovine cornea.
The test item Hatcol 3178 was brought onto the cornea of a bovine eye which previously had been incubated with cMEM without phenol red at 32 ± 1 °C for 1 hour and whose opacity had been determined. The test item was incubated on the cornea for 10 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After removal of the test item and 2 hours post-incubation, opacity and permeability values were measured.
The test item was tested pure.
Under the conditions of this test, the test item Hatcol 3178 showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is -0.35.
According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Jul. 2013), a substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 requires no classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
The negative control (HBSS-solution) and the positive control (undiluted dimethylformamide) have met the validity criteria.
No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome. The test is considered valid. - Executive summary:
Title of Study: Evaluation of Hatcol 3178 in the BCOP Test following OECD Guideline 437 resp. EU Method B.47
Findings and Results:
One valid experiment was performed.
Bovine corneas were used. They were collected from slaughtered cattle which were between 12 and 60 months old.
The test item Hatcol 3178 was brought onto the cornea of a bovine eye which had been incubated with cMEM without phenol red at 32 ± 1 °C for 1 hour and whose opacity had been measured. The test item was incubated on the cornea for 10 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C.
After removal of the test item and 2 hours post-incubation, opacity and permeability values were measured.
HBSS-solution was used as negative control. The negative control showed no irritating effect on the cornea and the calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is 1.16.
Dimethylformamide (DMF) undiluted was used as positive control. The positive control induced serious eye damage on the cornea and falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean. The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is 142.60.
Under the conditions of this study, the test item Hatcol 3178 showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is -0.35.
According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Jul. 2013), a substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 requires no classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
