Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
Erythrocytes of the bone marrow
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: Results of a pretest with 50, 160, 500, 1600 and 5000 µL/kg and the sponsor´s specification

DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION: Immediately after sacrife, both femurs of the animal were removed and flushed with a few drops of fetal calf serum onto a clean microscope slide. A second slide was inverted and placed to the first slide. Using a circular motion, the two slides were rubbed together until the bone marrow was evenly dispersed. The two slides were gently pulled appart, air dried, fixed in methanol for approx. 10 min and again air dried.The slides were stained with Giemsa for 5 min and differentiated in distilled water afterwards.

METHOD OF ANALYSIS: at least 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes were counted for each category.
Evaluation criteria:
There should be a statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in the treatment group over the negative control group.
Statistics:
The two-tailed Student´s t-test was applied to compare the frequency of micronucleated cells to the respective vehicle control.
