Ames MPF 98/100 Aqua is a miniaturized, ready to use Ames Test kit in a liquid microplate format. It includes all reagents necessary to run 5 samples with strains TA98 and TA100: 5 vials each of semisolid TA98, TA100, plus Booster, Growth -, Exposure -, Reversion Indicator Media, Ampicillin, Positive Controls, lyophilized Post-Mitochondrial Supernatant S9 from Phenobarbital/Naphtoflavone induced rat liver. Not included in the kit are plastic ware and S9 Cofactor solutions. The kits are quality controlled and do not need a separate quality control (phenotypes) like the agar plate Assay in petri dishes when used as an inhouse test.

Water sample is diluted only 1:1.15 in a 10 fold concentrated buffer, thus the dilution factor is significantly reduced as compared to agar plate Technology.

Published data about several tested compounds with this liquid microplate Ames Test are available under Database or Publications on this homepage. An Excel Calculation sheet as a support for interpretation is available free of charge for customers.
