DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index

OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: Yes
- Determination of endoreplication: No

Evaluation criteria:
Evaluation of the results was performed as follows:
-The test substance is classified as mutagenic if it induces a significantly increased aberration rate as compared with the solvent controls with one of the concentrations tested. The significance is obvious either by an enhancement of the rate clearly exceeding the control range or it is proven by adequate biometry.
-The test substance is classified as mutagenic if there is a reproducible concentration related increase in the aberration rate.
-The test substance is classified as non-mutagenic when it tests negatively both with and without metabolic activation.
Statistics:
The biometry of the results was performed with a one-sided Fisher - Exact test.
