Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Rat liver microsomal enzymes (S9 homogenate), prepared from male Sprague Dawley rats that had been injected intraperitoneally with Aroclor 1254 (500 mg/kg body weight).
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Dose-range Finding Test
Selection of an adequate range of doses was based on a dose-range finding test with the strains TA100 and the WP2uvrA, both with and without S9-mix. Eight concentrations, 1.7, 5.4, 17, 52, 164, 512, 1600 and 5000 µg/plate were tested in triplicate.

The highest concentration of the test item used in the subsequent mutation assays was 5000 μg/plate. At least five different doses (increasing with approximately half-log steps) of the test item were tested in triplicate in each strain in the absence and presence of S9-mix.
Vehicle / solvent:
The vehicle of the test item was Milli-Q water (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA., USA).
