Abstract excerpt
The results of the incubation of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) fibre material with seven different genotype variants of salmonella bacterium showed with and without an external metabolic activation system (S9) with no mutagenic or cytotoxic activity of the test material. In the so-called "plate incorporation test" in which the PEEK raw material is finely cut and applied direct to the agar plate without the addition...
