with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:

Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
Preliminary toxicity tests were performed with all tester strains using two plates per dose to get information on mutagenicity and toxicity for calculation of an appropriate dose range. A reduced rate of spontaneously occuring colonies as well as visible thinning of the bacterial lawn were used as indicator for toxicity. Thinning of the bacterial lawn was controlled microscopically.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results:
negative

It is concluded the the test substance is not mutagenic in the absence and presence of rat S-9 Mix using the standard Ames Test procedure. Also in the preincubation method to Prival the test compound is not mutagenic in the presence of hamster liver S-9.
