Full Plate Ames

Ames assays are bacterial reverse mutation assays that use a variety of Salmonella (or E. coli) strains to detect a range of point mutations and have high sensitivity when used in combination. The Ames test is the most established assay for detecting direct-acting mutagens and forms a key aspect of regulatory genotoxicity testing across industries. As such, an early stage prediction of Ames test outcome is a key step in assessing the toxicological hazard of test substances during development.
