Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

ACTIVATION: S9 mix contained glucose-6-phosphate and NADP as co-factors. 0.5 ml of S9 mix containing 10% S9 was added to agar, bacterial suspension and test substance to a total volume of 2.65, giving a final concentration of approximately 1% S9.

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

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicate plates, experiment repeated



DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: condition of background lawn
Evaluation criteria:
A result is positive if it causes a dose related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain with a minimum of two increasing concentrations of test article. This would be an increase of at least 3-fold of the solvent control for TA1535 and TA1537 and a 2-fold increase of the solvent control for TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA
Statistics:
None available

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Triethoxy(octyl)silane has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria in a study conducted according to OECD draft guidelines 471 and in compliance with GLP. No evidence of a substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed with or without activation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2 uvr A in the initial or the repeat experiment, both of which used the preincubation method. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
