Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
From each animal a minimum of 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE's)were scored for the incidence of micronucleated PCE's. The ratio of PCE: total RBC was determined by counting 400 to 930 RCB's per animal.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The study has shown that biocartol did not show evidence of mutagenic potential in Swiss albino mice at the doses tested. The test item exhibited clear evidence of cytotoxicity at and above a dose level of 200 mg/kg body weight under the conditions adopted.
