Description

Ames MPF 98/100 is a miniaturized, ready to use Ames Test kit in a liquid microplate format. It includes all reagents necessary to run 10 samples with strains TA98 and TA100: 10 vials each of semisolid TA98, TA100, plus Booster, Growth -, Exposure -, Reversion Indicator Media, Ampicillin. This kit version does not contain Positive Controls and lyophilized Post-Mitochondrial Supernatant S9. Not included in the kit are also plastic ware and S9 Cofactor solutions.
Published data about several tested compounds with this liquid microplate Ames Test are available under Database or Publications on this homepage.
The kits are quality controlled and do not need an inhouse quality control (phenotypes) like the traditional agar plate assay.

Service analytics for early drug discovery with test compound of 11 mg / strain (+/- S9) with the Ames MPF assay system is available as well under GLP and non GLP conditions, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Characteristics

  • Quality controlled products: all products of the kit
