A rapid agar plate method for toxicity screening of water-soluble and -insoluble chemicals / by D. Liu, Y.K. Chau and B.J. Dutka. : En13-5/87-130E-PDF

"This paper presents a simple, rapid, sensitive and reproducible technique for determining the chemical toxicity of both water soluble and -insoluble compounds by using a direct agar diffusion assay. The procedure involves the use of a dimethyl sulfoxideglycerol carrier solvent system to dissolve the test chemicals and the incubation of the seeded agar plate at 30°C to speed up the bacterial growth rate. Optimal conditions for performing the test have been established and test results are obtainable in about 4 hours. The technique has been applied to evaluate the toxicity of organic, inorganic as well as organometallic compounds. The method is simple, inexpensive and is suitable for the toxicity screening purpose as well as for use in structure toxicity studies"--Abstract.
