Short Description Automated Micronucleus screening
The in vitro micronucleus test assesses induction of chromosomal damage upon chemical exposure. Micronuclei are cytoplasmic chromosomes or chromosome fragments that result from DNA strand breaks or incorrect chromosome segregation during cell division. The micronucleus test detects genotoxic substances with clastogenic and aneugenic activity.
