METHOD OF APPLICATION: plate incorporation method (without S9), preincubation method (with S9)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 minutes
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72 h


NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: See evaluation criteria

Evaluation criteria:
The test substance is considered as mutagenic if, for each test, it induces a doubling in the number of revertants when compared to that in the negative and/or solvent controls, for at least one of the tested strains and at one or more of the tested concentrations.

The test substance is considered as non-mutagenic if the above
criteria are not fully met.
Statistics:
A statistically significant dose relationship is investigated, using a linear regression analysis, and considered as significant if p ≤ 0.05 (for n = 18 values, the correlation coefficient r must be ≥ 0.47).
