Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: 1. experiment: plate incorporation, 2. experiment: preincubation

DURATION:
- Preincubation period: approx. 30 min
- Exposure duration: 72 h

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): test item

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
- negative control in the laboratory historical range for each tester strain
- positive control chemicals produces responses in all tester strains within laboratory historical range
- Mean plate count should be at least two times the concurrent vehicle control group mean at two consecutive dose levels or at the highest practicable dose-level. Additionally, a dose-response relationship showing increasing numbers of mutant colonies with increasing dose-levels must be evident.
- selected dose range should include a clearly toxic concentration or should exhibit limited solubility as demonstrated by the preliminary toxicity range-finding test or should extend to 5 mg/plate
Statistics:
not applicable
