Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Gallium trichloride
EC Number:
236-610-0
EC Name:
Gallium trichloride
Cas Number:
13450-90-3
Molecular formula:
Cl3Ga
IUPAC Name:
gallium trichloride
Test material form:

Specific details on test material used for the study:
purity > 99.9%

Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S-9 mix: a mixture of the microsome fraction of a rat liver with coenzymes such as reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, was used
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
at least 6 concentrations, ranging from 7.2 × 10−7 to 1.4 × 10−4 mol/L
Vehicle / solvent:
In advance of mutagenic evaluation, each of the salts was dissolved in and diluted with sterile Dulbecco’s phosphate- buffered saline without calcium and magnesium salts [PBS(−)] to prepare a proper metal salt solution, which would provide a desired final concentration of the salt in the medium.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Remarks:
PBS
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
furylfuramide
other: 2-aminoanthracene
