Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
negative: no mutagenic effect observed

not mutagenic with and without metabolic activation
Executive summary:

Dechlorane Plus was tested in a standard Ames plate incorporation assay in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 1538 with and without metabolic activation by rat liver S9 -mix at concentrations up to 10,000 µg/plate. All plates were prepared in duplicate. The test was independently repeated once. No mutagenic effect and no cytotoxicity was observed in any strain at any concentration with and without metabolic activation, no precipitation was reported. Dechlorane Plus was essentially nonmutagenic in this test.
