Automatic Ames Test System

Understanding Automatic Ames Test System: Purpose, Process, and Benefits

Automatic Ames Test System is an integrated laboratory instrument designed to automate all critical steps of the Ames test from sample preparation and plating to colony counting and data analysis. It enables high-throughput mutagenicity screening while adhering to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and regulatory standards, such as those set by the OECD and ICH.

Our Analyzer is equipped with a range of advanced features designed to streamline the testing process which includes;

• Automated Sample Handling

• Colony Counter Integration

• Standardized Protocols

• Compatibility with S9 Activation

Automatic Ames Test System is invaluable in numerous applications, from pharmaceutical research and chemical safety evaluation to environmental monitoring, cosmetic testing, and academic investigations. It plays a vital role across various scientific and regulatory domains. In pharmaceutical development, it is used during early-stage drug discovery to screen candidate compounds for genotoxicity, ensuring that only safe molecules progress through the development pipeline. In the field of chemical safety testing, Automatic Ames Test System evaluates the mutagenic potential of industrial chemicals, food additives, agricultural substances, and cosmetic ingredients to meet regulatory requirements. It also contributes significantly to environmental monitoring by analyzing water, soil, and air samples for the presence of mutagenic pollutants, supporting environmental protection efforts. In cosmetic and personal care testing, our Analyzer helps verify that non-pharmaceutical consumer products meet safety standards and do not pose DNA-damaging risks. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool in academic and contract research, facilitating studies in genetics, toxicology, and microbiology, while enhancing efficiency and minimizing human error commonly associated with manual methods.
