Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
0, 6.17, 18.52, 55.56, 166.67 and 500.0 mg/plate
concentrations were based on preliminary toxicity test which showed toxicity at 1000 and 10000 mg/plate

Controls
Untreated negative controls:
no
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
sodium azide
other: hycanthone methanesulphonate (HMS), 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA)
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 3 days

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: inspection of bacterial background lawn
Evaluation criteria:
A positive response in the assay system is taken to be a two-fold or greater increase in the mean number of revertant colonies appearing in the test plates over and above the background spontaneous reversion rate observed with the solvent, together with evidence of a dose response.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviation were calculated.
