The Salmonella assay has been in use for almost 15 years and can be defined as a routine test for mutagenicity and for predicting potential carcinogenicity. It detects the majority of animal carcinogens and consequently plays an important role in safety assessment. The test is also routinely used as the frontline screen for environmental samples (complex mixtures) isolated from air, water and food. This role will continue to remain an area of growth as or because sample volumes associated with these testing areas are generally very limited and more extensive testing is generally impossible. While this test, like all others, has some limitations, it is recommended that it be regularly included in all genetic testing batteries.
