Reference substance name:
Hydroxylapatite (Ca5(OH)(PO4)3)
EC Number:
215-145-7
EC Name:
Hydroxylapatite (Ca5(OH)(PO4)3)
Cas Number:
1306-06-5
Molecular formula:
Ca5HO13P3
IUPAC Name:
pentacalcium hydroxide triphosphate
Test material form:
solid: particulate/powder
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Hydroxyapatite with zirconia added (to make it tougher), whitish grey fine powder, aseptic precautions taken when handling the substance

Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
other: S. typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E.coli WP2uvrA
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9-Mix
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
5000, 2500, 1250, 625 and 313 µg/plate
top dose according to guideline for non-cytotoxic substances, cytotoxicity tested (= not cytotoxic)
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
no
Remarks:
water
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: 2-(2-Furyl)-3(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide, Sodium azide, 2-d-2-Aminoanthracene, Methoxy-6-chloro-9(3-(2-chloroethyl)-aminopropylamino)acrinidine
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
pre-incubation method
negative control: triplicate, positive controls and treatment: duplicate, control for bacterial contamination of the agar plates: once
Rationale for test conditions:
according to guideline
Evaluation criteria:
number of revertant colonies equal or less than negative control, reproducible effects (duplicates),no concentration-dependent effects
Statistics:
The colonies were counted with a manual counter or a colony analizer. Each plate was counted 3 times and the mean was given. The average plate count for each dose was calculated as the average of the duplicates.
