Curious about how to test if chemical products and cosmetics cause eye irritation without in vivo testing? The Peira LLBO 180 is the only instrument approved for OECD Test Guideline 437 to identify ocular corrosives and severe irritants.
The Laser Light-Based Opacitometer (LLBO) measures the opacity of substances in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) Test Method, following OECD Test Guideline 437. This method checks if substances can cause serious eye damage or irritation, using bovine corneas from cattle slaughtered for commercial purposes.
The Peira LLBO 180 is the only OECD-approved instrument for BCOP testing. It replaces the older OP-KIT and Duratec, analyzing the entire corneal surface with updated 18 mm holders. Equipped with a class 3R green laser and certified glass filters, it ensures accurate calibration.
The LLBO complies with OECD Test Guideline 437, proving its reliability in ocular irritation testing. It’s user-friendly, operates independently, and detects opaque spots better. It offers precise rankings of compounds’ eye-irritating potential.
The LLBO supports non-animal testing methods, reduces bias, and boosts confidence in results.
