Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: At least five different doses (increasing with approximately half-log steps) of the test substance were tested in triplicate in each strain.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: the reduction of the bacterial background lawn, the increase in the size of the microcolonies and the reduction of the revertant colonies were examined.

OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Other: precipitation

Evaluation criteria:

A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.

A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) In case a repeat experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
The preceding criteria were not absolute and other modifying factors might enter into the final evaluation decision.

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: Aquapel® 203 precipitated on the plates at the top dose of 3330 μg/plate.


RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
Aquapel® 203 was tested in the tester strains TA100 and WP2uvrA with concentrations of 3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 3330 and 5000 µg/plate in the absence and presence of S9-mix.
Precipitation of Aquapel® 203 on the plates was observed at the start and at the end of the incubation period at concentrations of 3330 and 5000 µg/plate.
No reduction of the bacterial background lawn and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants were observed.
In the dose range finding test, no increase in the number of revertants was observed upon treatment with Aquapel® 203 under all conditions tested.


COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
