Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Duplicate cultures of human lymphocytes were evaluated for chromosome aberrations at up to three dose levels. For each experiment, whole blood was drawn from the peripheral circulation of a volunteer who had previously been screened for suitability. The cell cycle length of approx. 14 h was determined by BrdU incorporation.
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium (Eagle´s minimal essential medium with HEPES buffer supplemented with L-glutamine, Pen/Strep, amphotericin B and 15% FCS

DURATION
- Exposure duration: Experiment I: 4 h with or without S9 mix and 20 h expression time.
Experiment II: Either 4 h with S9 mix and 20 h expression time or 24 h without S9 mix.
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 20 h after 4 h exposure to the test substance


SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): Colcemid (0.1 µg/ml)
STAIN (for cytogenetic assays): 5% Gurrs Giemsa for 5 min

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 200

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index

OTHER: Duplicate cultures of human lymphocytes were evaluated for chromosome aberrations at up to three dose levels. For each experiment, whole blood was drawn from the peripheral circulation of a volunteer who had previously been screened for suitability. The cell cycle length of approx. 14 h was determined by BrdU incorporation.
Evaluation criteria:
All vehicle (solvent) controls had frequencies of cells with aberrations within the range expected for normal human lymphocytes. All the positive control materials induced statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with aberrations indicating the satisfactory performance of the test and of the activity of the metabolising system.
Statistics:
The frequency of cells with aberrations and the frequency of polyploid cells was compared, where necessary, with the concurrent vehicle control value using Fisher´s Exact test.
