Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The test substance did not precipitate on the plates at the top dose of 5000µg/plate.
Evaluation criteria:
No formal hypothesis testing was done.
A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
1. the total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and WP2uvrA is not greater than three times the concurrent control.
2. the negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment
A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
1. The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is greater than two times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is greater than three times the concurrent control.
2. the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
These criteria are not absolute and other modifying factors might enter into the final evaluation decision.
