The
Draize Test, named after
FDA toxicologist John Draize, along with the
LD50 are two of the most common
animal tests. The Draize Test involves dropping the tested substance directly into an animal's eyes and observing the results. Test subject is commonly an albino rabbit. The other test, the
LD50 test[?], short for "Lethal Dose 50", involves force-feeding a substance to a group of animals until 50% of the group dies, hence the name.
