Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Three New Zealand White Rabbits from T. Hanna Colony.
- Housing: individually housed in stainless steel wire bottomed cages
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 68 - 72°F.
- Air changes: environmentally controlled room

24h, no washout
Observation period (in vivo):
At 24, 48 and 72 hours, and at 4 and 7 days.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: no

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system
