Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Experiment 1: Standard plate test (SPT)
Test tubes containing 2 mL soft agar kept in a water bath at 45°C, and remaining components added in the following order:
0 .1 mL test solution or vehicle
0 .1 mL bacterial suspension
0 .5 mL S-9 mix (in tests with metabolic activation) or 0 .5 mL phosphate buffer (in tests without metabolic activation).
After mixing, the samples are poured onto Vogel-Bonner agar plates.

Experiment 2: Preincubation assay (PIT)
0.1 mL test solution or vehicle, 0.1 mL bacterial suspension and 0 .5 mL S-9 mix are
incubated at 37°C for the duration of 20 minutes. Subsequently, 2 mL of soft agar is added
and, after mixing, the samples are poured onto the Vogel-Bonner agar plates.

Experiment1&2
In each experiment 3 test plates per dose or per control used; after incubation at 37°C for 48 hours in the dark, the bacterial colonies ( his+/trp+ revertants) are counted.
Positive control:
with metabolic activation: 2-aminoanthracene: 2.5 μg/plate for each S. typhimurium strain; 60 μg/plate for E. coli WP2 uvrA
without metabolic activation: 5 μg/plate N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine for TA 100 and TA 1535, 10 μg/plate 4-nitro-o-phenylendiamine
for TA 98, 100 μg/plate 9-aminoacridine chloride for TA 1537 and 5 µg/plate N-Ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine for E. coli WP2 uvrA; all substances were dissolved in DMSO.
The titer was determined and in regularly measurements the strain characteristics were checked. Sterility control was performed.
Evaluation criteria:
Acceptance criteria
Generally, the experiment is considered valid if the following criteria are met:
• The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain.
• The sterility controls revealed no indication of bacterial contamination.
• The positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a distinct increase in the number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical positive control data or above.
• The titer of viable bacteria was ≥ 10e8/mL.

Assessment 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.
