METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 20 minutes at 37 °C
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): 48 hours at 37 °C


NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): L-Histidine and D-biotin
Evaluation criteria:
For a test article to be considered positive, it must cause at least a doubling in the average revertants per plate of at least one tester strain. This increase in the average number of revertants per plate must be accompanied by a dose response to increasing concentrations of the test article, and in those cases where the observed increase is less than three-fold, the response must be reproducible.
Statistics:
All platings were done in triplicate. For each triplicate plating, an average and standard deviation were calculated.

Additional information on results:
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
A preliminary toxicity determination study of the test substance, DMH, was carried out for eight serial half-log dilutions, 2.9, 9.4, 30, 95, 305, 977, 3125 and 10000 µg, plated with a diluted TA100 culture on non-selective agar (viable counts) and with an undiluted TA100 culture on selective agar (revertants). A negative control with no test substance, DMH, and only 50 µl of H2O, was added to the plate.
