Ames II & Ames MPF Test

SERVICE INFORMATION

Our Ames test services include bacterial reverse mutation assays performed as fluctuation tests in a reduced liquid microplate format and exploiting a colorimetric read-out. Ames MPF and Ames II produce data with strong concordance to the classical Ames test but require considerably lower test item amounts. This makes them ideally suited to high-throughput screening projects.

If you would like more details on how Gentronix can support your project by conducting Ames II and Ames MPF Tests, please contact a team member or submit an enquiry at enquiries@gentronix.co.uk.
