Description
Ready to use Assay Kit for Ames Test including 10 vials each of semisolid TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, E.coli WP2 uvrA, E.coli WP2 pKM101, plus Booster, Growth -, Exposure -, Reversion Indicator Media, Positive Controls, Post-Mitochondrial Supernatant S9 from lyophilized PB/ßNaphtoflavone induced rat liver.
Characteristics
- Quality controlled reagents: Strains, S9, media, positive controls - no inhouse quality control, no sterility control necessary
- Certificate of Analysis is provided
- Excel Calculation Sheet to support data interpretation
- Number of tests corresponds to 5 x 480 agar plates.
- Standardized procedure
- Enough material to process strains individually
- Shipped at room temperature from external storage in Germany or from Switzerland
- High sensitivity and excellent correlation with agar plate test (see referenced publications)
- 4 times less test compound as compared to the agar plate test
- Less hands-on-time and simultaneous processing of several replicates
- Automation available - high throughput
- 3Rs - 12 fold less consumption of rat liver liver S9, significant less test animals sacrificed
- Less error prone due to easy colorimetric read-out
- Waste - Significant less plastic waste and thus reduced contaminated waste in environment
