Test system
- Vehicle:
- water
- Controls:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- yes, concurrent positive control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 20 % (w/w) dry suspension was prepared mixing 750 mg MWCNT NM-402 in highly de-ionized water shortly before application by stirring with a spatula.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hours
- Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
- none
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 corneas
- Details on study design:
- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS: no data
TREATMENT METHOD: open chamber
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: no
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: 3
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: opacitometer (BASF-OP2.0, BASF SE, Germany)
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of UV/VIS spectrophotometry (OD490)
- Others: histopathological evaluation by light microscopy
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
The In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS) was calculated per treated cornea and finally the mean IVIS per treatment group ± standard deviation (SD) was determined: IVIS = mean opacity value + (15 x mean permeability value). An IVIS >55 indicates a risk of serious damage to the eyes.
DECISION CRITERIA:
Acceptance criteria laid down in OECD TG 437
