METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Exposure duration: Incubated at 37 ºC for 48 hours.

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicate
Evaluation criteria:
For a test article to be considered positive, it must cause at least a doubling in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain. This increase in the mean number of revertants per plate must be accompanied by a dose response to increasing concentrations of the test article. In those cases where the observed dose-responsive increase in TA1537 or TA1538 revertants per plate is less than three-fold, the response must be reproducible.
Statistics:
Not required (revertant colonies were counted)
