Details on test system and experimental conditions:

EXAMPLE--

Toxicity: precipitation was noted in the phosphate buffer from 50 ug/plate upwards, no preciptation was observed on agar plates

A toxic effect was observed:

- at XX ug /plate on TA98, TA100,TA102, and TA 1535 with and without s9 mix and on TA 1537 with S-9 mix;
- at XX ug/plate on TA100 and TA102 with and eithout S9 mix and on TA98 with S-9 mix.

No toxic effect was noted on TA 1537 without S-9 mix.

Evaluation criteria:

Evaluation criteria: test article would be considered mutagenic if:
the increase in the number of revertants is concentration-related;
at one concentration tested (at least), the number of revertant colonies is equal to or greater than twice the number of spontaneous revertants with TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 and three times that observed with TA1535 and TA1537;
the positive responses described above were reproducible in an independent assay.

Statistics:

Mean and standard deviation of the plate counts for each treatment were determined

Additional information on results:

Comments: In the first assay, each strain was run under 1-10000 micrograms/plate. In the second assay, each strain was run under 10-2000 micrograms/plate.

Remarks on result:

other: all strains/cell types tested

Remarks:

Migrated from field 'Test system'.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Observations:
All positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9 mix were validated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

No dose-related and reproducible increases in revertant colony frequency were observed in any tester strains at any concentration, both with and without S9. The test substance was not genotoxic in the Ames test
