DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
The test chemical is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about
doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without
S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test substance is generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control
range under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out
independently of each other.
Statistics:
not applicable
