Ames Test System

Introduction

Ames Test System provides high-sensitivity screening, capable of processing up to 240 tests per run. They incorporate multiple bacterial strains to detect broad range of genetic mutations. These include controlled temperature and optimized conditions to ensure reliable and consistent assessment. Their software allows for multi-sample processing and streamlined data management. Ames Test System is applied in genetic toxicology research, chemical safety evaluation, pharmaceuticals, and environmental contaminant detection.

Standards

OECD Test Guidelines-genetic toxicology (bacterial reverse mutation / Ames) and inhalation toxicity studies

Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.

Features

1. Pre-set routines shorten set-up for repeated standard procedures.

2. Calibration and self-check functions support accuracy.

3. Rugged, field-tested construction holds up under daily laboratory use.

4. Ships with a start-up kit and traceable factory test record.

5. Clear labelling and colour-coded controls reduce operator error.

FAQ

What is the Ames Test System mainly used for?

The Ames Test System is used for a defined laboratory measurement, preparation or processing task. It supports analytical, quality-control, research, clinical or industrial work where consistent, repeatable results are required.

Which standards and regulations apply to the Ames Test System?

The instrument is designed with reference to IEC 61010 electrical safety, the applicable international standard for the measurement or process and relevant GB/T standards. Procedures should follow the relevant method. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.

What warranty comes with the Ames Test System?

The system is covered for 12 months after shipment, including the main mechanism and electrical controls. Replaceable consumables and routine service items are not part of the warranty. Faults caused by improper installation outside the manual or unauthorised modification are not covered.

Is the Ames Test System difficult to operate?

Day-to-day use is simple, with clear prompts and pre-set functions reducing manual steps. New operators should review the manual and complete a short familiarisation. Our technical team offers remote support during the first runs.

What is the typical lead time for order delivery?

Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.

Does the Ames Test System need calibration or verification?

Factory calibration is included, and routine verification is recommended every 6 to 12 months using suitable reference materials. Regulated sites may require more frequent checks and documented records. Calibration support and certificates can be provided on request.

Are consumables and spare parts easy to obtain?

Common consumables and standard spare parts are available through our service channel and are not locked to proprietary formats. Quote the model and serial number when ordering so the correct items are supplied. Lead time for standard parts is usually short.

Can it be adapted to our requirements?

The standard model can be configured with selected accessories and operating options to suit the task. Non-standard requests are assessed before quotation so the final build is clearly defined. We confirm details before production.

Do you provide on-site installation?

The unit is delivered ready for set-up, with clear commissioning steps in the manual. We provide remote technical support during installation. For larger or regulated systems, a factory-trained engineer can attend on site on request.

What maintenance and safety points matter?

Do not use the instrument outside its rated range or intended samples, skip calibration or ignore safety and maintenance instructions. Follow the operating manual and laboratory safety rules.
