Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
0.1 ml of bacterial culture, test solution, and, for tests with metabolic activation, 0.5 ml S-9 mix, were mixed with 2 ml top agar, then poured into minimal glucose agar plates.

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hrs, incubated at 37°C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3


OTHER: For plates with more than 500 revertant,colonies/plates, number of revertant colonies were counted using a stereomicroscope. An Artek model 880 automatic colony counter was used for other plates. Visual examination was used for plates with <10 revertants/plate.
Evaluation criteria:
A positive response was considered to be three treatment levels with revertants/plate greater than solvent control and a significant positive dose response (p<0.01).
Statistics:
Analyses included Bartlett's test, one-sided t-test, Grubb's test, and regression analysis.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test substance is not cytotoxic or mutagenic either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

This study examined the potential mutagenicity of the test substance Therminol 55 Heat-Transfer Medium. Concentrations of 0.001, 0.004, 0.02, 0.10, 0.30, 1.00 mg/plate of test substance were added to bacterial cultures of Salmonella strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 100, and TA 98. 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide, 2-acetylaminofluorene, benzo(a)pyrene, NaNO2, 2-aminoanthracene, and 9 -aminoacridine were used as positive control substances. Acetone was used as a solvent. The test substance was also tested for cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 10 mg/plate, higher than the solubility limit of 1 mg/plate. Results show the test substance was not cytotoxic even at 10 mg/plate. Results also show no statistically significant increase in the number of revertants/plate in any of the strains at any concentration. The test substance is not mutagenic either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
