What are the Advantages of Using the Micronucleus Test?
1. Simplicity and Cost-Effectiveness: The methodology is straightforward and less expensive compared to other genotoxicity assays. 2. Sensitivity: It is sensitive to both clastogenic (chromosome-breaking) and aneugenic (chromosome mis-segregating) agents. 3. Versatility: The test can be adapted for various cell types and organisms, making it highly versatile for different experimental setups.
