DURATION
- Preincubation period: 12 hours
- Exposure duration: 48-72 hours
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 60-84 hours
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): 48-72 hours

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): Minimal top agar

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: Colonies on all plates were counted either by hand or by Sorcerer Colony Counter.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: The condition of the bacterial background lawn was evaluated for evidence of test article toxicity.
Evaluation criteria:
For the test article to be evaluated positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of the test article as specified below:
TA 1535 and TA1537: Data sets were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 3.0-times the mean vehicle control value.
TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA: Data sets were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 2.0-times the mean vehicle control value.

Under the conditions of this study, the test article is not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay with or without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

The mutagenic potential of the test article (Viscous yellow liquid, Lot 565093, Purity: 91.4% ) was evaluated in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay with S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and E. coli strain WP2 uvrA in both the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system (S9-mix: Aroclor-induced rat liver). This study was performed in accordance with USFDA GLP and OECD GLP (1997). The study design was based on OECD 471 (1998). The test article was prepared in DMSO for addition to the test system. Doses were selected based on an initial toxicity-mutation assay. In the confirmatory assay, the test article was tested at 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 ug per plate in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Precipitate was observed beginning at 1500 ug/plate and no toxicity was observed. No increase in revertant colonies was observed in either the presence or absence of S9-mix for any strain. All criteria for a valid study were met as described in the protocol. Under the conditions of this study, the test article was not mutagenic in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
