What microbial detection and mutagenicity testing products does Moltox offer?
Moltox provides reference strains, S9 metabolic activation systems, and bacterial tester strains for Ames tests and genotoxicity assays.
How quickly can Moltox products reach Indian labs?
Standard lead time is 3–4 weeks. Shipments are temperature-controlled.
Are Moltox products validated for OECD or GLP testing?
Yes. Moltox is widely used by CROs and regulatory labs worldwide, and documentation is provided.
What is mutagenicity/genotoxicity and how does the MOLTOX® Mutagenicity Assay Kit help?
Mutagenicity and genotoxicity measure DNA damage potential, and MOLTOX® kits enable Ames and related bacterial assays to assess this, ensuring chemical and drug safety.
Which bacterial strains are included in MOLTOX® kits?
Kits include Salmonella (TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100) and E. coli (WP2 trp, WP2 trp uvrA) strains, each detecting specific DNA damage and mutagenic activity.
What formats of MOLTOX® kits are available?
MOLTOX® kits are offered in plate-based (Ames, µAmes), liquid microtiter fluctuation (FT™), UMU genotoxicity, and phenotype confirmation formats.
How should MOLTOX® reagents be stored?
Most reagents are refrigerated, while sensitive chemicals like freeze-dried S9 mixes require ultra-low (–80°C) storage, following label instructions.
Can I customize my mutagenicity assay using MOLTOX®?
Yes, individual components like media, S9 mix, and test chemicals can be purchased separately to design assays tailored to laboratory needs.
