The Ames MPF™ is a miniaturized, microplate fluctuation format of the Ames test. It is a standardized, commercially available product which can be used to assess mutagenicity in Salmonella and E. coli strains in 384-well plates using a color change-based readout. Several peer-reviewed comparisons of the Ames MPF™ to the Ames test in Petri dishes confirmed its suitability to evaluate the mutagenic potential of a variety of test items. An international multicenter study involving seven laboratories tested six coded chemicals with this assay using five bacterial strains, as recommended by the OECD test guideline 471...
