DURATION
- Preincubation period: 24h
- Exposure duration: Incubated at 37°C for 24-48 hours
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates
The reaction mixtures for the assays were prepared in 13 x 100 mm tube by mixing together the following :
1. 0.05 - 0.2 ml bacterial suspension.
2. 0.5 ml S9 mix, in test with metabolica activation.
3. 0.5 ml phosphate buffer pH 7.4 in test without metabolic activation
3. 2.0 ml molten agar supplemented with 0.5 mM histidine-biotin solution
4. the test item as gas is mixed with an appropriate amount of air to achieve the desidered concentration ( that is 50% test gas concentration is achieved by mixing air at 2 liters/minute with the gas at 2 liters/minute)
Aliquots of each mixture were poured onto agar plates. The mixture is allowed to flow through the chamber until the theoretical tgg time period is achieved.
The prepared plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 h at which time the revertant colonies were counted. - Evaluation criteria:
- The number of revertants, colony-producing bacteria is counted after a forty-eight days to seventy-two hours growth period. A dose related increase in revertants over spontaneous background is considered a positive test result.
- Statistics:
- no data. Only the arithmetic mean for the number of mutants per plate is reported, see data attched to the field "attached background material".

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
The results of the Ames mutagenicity test on chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) showed that the test item not induce a mutagenic response in salmonella typhimurium strains TA100, TA98, TA1537, TA1535 in the presence or absence of rat liver activating enzymes. - Executive summary:
Four mutant strains of Salmonella typhimurium(TA-100, TA-98, TA-1537 and TA-1535) were used in this assay.The strains were treated with the test substance with and without the activation enzyme. Appropriate concentrations of the gas at room temperature at levels of 12.5, 15, 25, 30 and 50% for approximately 24 hours were introduced. The test compound did not induce a mutagenic response in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA-100, TA-98, TA-1537 and TA-1535in the presence or absence o f rat liver activating enzymes.However, a toxic effect was observed at the 50% dose level with the strains TA-100 and TA-1535.
Since no E.coli and S.typhimurium T102 strains were used, no detection of AT base pair at the primary reversion site was possible.
