S9 fraction of rat-liver induced with Aroclor 1254
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
25, 75, 225, 675 and 2025 µg/0.1 mL
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: acetone
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
no
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: without metabolic activation: TA 1535: N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine; TA 1537: 9 (5) aminoacridine hydrochloride monohydrate; TA 98: daunoblastin; TA 100: 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide ; with metablic activation: TA 1535: cyclophosphamide
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates per strain and per group (positive control: 2 plates)

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
The test substance was considered to be non-mutagenic if the colony count in relation to the negative control was not doubled at any concentration.
Statistics:
When the colonies had been counted, the arithmetic mean was calculated.
