Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
Vienna White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
The animals were identified via ear tattoo. The animals were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms. Central air-conditioning guaranteed a range of 20 - 24°C for temperature and of 30 - 70% for relative humidity. There were no deviations from these ranges which influenced the results of the study.
No bedding were used (saw-dust in the waste trays). Diet was Kliba 341 and drinking water was about 250 ml per animals and day. The acclimatization period was at least 8 days before beginning of the study with the same housing conditions as during the test period.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated eye of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
1 h
Observation period (in vivo):
72 h
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
Single application to the conjunctival sac of the right eyelid; the test substance was not washed out. Readings were done 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after application.
