Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar, preincubation


DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 minutes

- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 to 72 hours

- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): 12 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates for each test concentration

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Background lawn monitoring
Evaluation criteria:
For the test article to be positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain with a minimum of two increasing concentrations per test article.

A result is positive if the number of revertants is significantly increased compared with the solvent control to at least 2-fold of the solvent control for TA 98, TA 100 and WP2 uvrA, and 3-fold of the solvent control for TA 1535 and TA 1537.

Cytotoxicity is defined as a reduction in the number of colonies by >50% compared with the solvent control and/or a sparse background lawn.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a reliable test conducted in compliance with OECD 471, under GLP, the test substance (8.3% Bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) (S1), 65.4% Bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) (S2), 16.6% Bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) (S3)) did not cause a positive response in any of the tester strains with or without metabolic activation in either of the tests. The test substance is non mutagenic in E. coli and Salmonella strains under the conditions of the test.
