How to do Ames Test

Post by deleted-239501 »

Hi:
I'd like to do Ames test for my science project. Hope someone can help me with the following questions.
1. Can anyone please give some pointer where I can get Ames Test Kit with reasonable price?
2. For Ames test, is Ecoli as effective as Salmonella? I think I can only use Ecoli due to lab constraint.
3. Is S9 Enzyme usually needed for Ames Test to be working? Where can I get S9 Enzyme?

Thank you for your help

Hello Qianz,

The Science Buddies experts are here to work with students in grades K-12 - but your profile says you are a parent. If this project is being done by your son or daughter, please tell us more about the project, for example, the hypothesis to be tested, and the experimental design. This information will help the experts to answer your questions in the context of your science project.

If this is not a student project, then there are more appropriate websites on the internet for posting your questions.
Thank you.
