Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Chloroacetamide tested with bacterial strains Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 showed no mutagenicity neither in the presence nor absence of rat liver preparation at concentrations up to 2500 µg/plate.
Executive summary:

Chloroacetamide solved in DMSO was tested in a Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay with Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537, with and without metabolic activation (S9) at conentrations of 4 to 2500 µg/plate. The plates were incubated for 48 hours at 37°C and then the numbers of reverted bacterial colonies counted.There was no mutagenicity neither in the presence nor absence of rat liver preparation up to 2500 µg/plate.
