Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 hours
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 0-22 hours

SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): colcemid
STAIN (for cytogenetic assays): Giemsa

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: A total of up to 100 metaphase cells per culture (up to 50 metaphase cells per slide, 2 - 3 slides per culture)

Evaluation criteria:
Structural and Numerical Chromosomal Aberrations: from the results, 5 parameters were calculated, and judged as negative, suspicious or positive. These parameters were:
1. Lesions per cell
2. Percentage of aberrant cells including cells with gaps only
3. Percentage of aberrant cells excluding cells with gaps only
4. Percentage of aneuploid cells
5. Percentage ofpolyploid cells (normal and endoreduplicated) from additional assessment of ploidy.
The third parameter is considered the most important in judging the true clastogenicity of a test material.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

It was concluded that Bisphenol-M was not clastogenic when tested with Chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro.
