Abstract: We have screened 14 solvents for compatibility with the Salmonella mutagenicity test and have found 12 to be satisfactory under the conditions specified. These 12 solvents are: dimethyl sulfoxide, glycerol formal, dimethyl formamide, formamide, acetonitrile, 95% ethanol, acetone, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, p-dioxane, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol and tetrahydrofuran. The influence of the nutrient broth culture medium on the spontaneous mutation rate of the tester strains is also discussed. e field[29]: NMP
