EpiOcular’s strong correlation to historical in vivo data sets and exceptional reproducibility make it an ideal model for ocular safety testing of raw ingredients and final formulations. EpiOcular has been used for many years as a non- animal, in vitro alternative to determine Draize scores (for water soluble test articles) and to assess the mildness / ultra-mildness (sub-Draize) of materials contacting the eyes.
Applications:
– Eye Irritation Test (OECD 492)
– Mtt ET-50 (Dilution)
– Sub-Draize Ultra Mildness
– MTT ET-50 (Neat)
