Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Experiment 1: Standard plate test
Test tubes containing 2 ml soft agar kept in a water bath at 45°C, and remaining components added in the following order:
0.1 ml test solution or solvent
0.1 ml bacterial suspension
0.5 ml S9 mix (in tests with metabolic activation) or 0.5 ml phosphate buffer (in tests without metabolic activation).
After mixing, the samples are poured onto Vogel-Bonner agar plates.

Experiment 2: Preincubation test
0.1 ml test solution or solvent, 0.1 ml bacterial suspension and 0.5 ml S9 mix are incubated at 37°C for the duration of 20 minutes. Subsequently, 2 ml of soft agar is added and, after mixing, the samples are poured onto the Vogel-Bonner agar plates.

Experiment1&2
In each experiment 3 test plates per dose or per control used; after incubation at 37°C for 48 hours in the dark, the bacterial colonies ( his+ revertants) are counted.
Evaluation criteria:
In general, a substance to be characterized as positive in the Ames test has to fulfill the following requirements:
- doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate (control)
- dose-response relationship
- reproducibility of the results

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
According to the results of the present study, the test substance 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-diol is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay under the experimental conditions chosen.
Executive summary:

The substance 2,5-Dimethylhexandiol-2,5 was tested for mutagenicity in the Ames test (standard plate test and preincubation test) both in the presence and in the absence of a metabolizing system obtained from rat liver (S-9 mix) using the strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537 and TA 98. An increase in the number of revertants was not observed in both tests either without S-9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system.
