Positive control substance:
other: sodium azide (TA 1535, TA 100), 9-aminoacridine (TA 1537), 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (TA98)
Remarks:

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: 2-aminoanthracene
Remarks:
with metabolic activation
Evaluation criteria:
An individual trial was judged as:
- mutagenic: if dose-related increase over the corresponding solvent control was seen
- weakly mutagenic: if low-level dose response
- questionable: if dose-related increase was judged to be insufficiently high to be called weakly mutagenic or only a single dose was elevated or a non -dose-related increase was seen

A chemical was judged mutagenic, if it produced a reproducible, dose-related increase in revertants over the corresponding solvent control in replicate trials.
