β¦ Synopsis
The spermicidal surfactant nonoxynol-9 (Igepal CO-630, GAF Corp.) and a potential impurity, lP-dioxane, were tested in the in vitro cell transformation assay using BALB/3T3 cells. Two treatment periods, 48 hr and 13 days, were used. Nonoxynol-9, tested at levels up to 10 pglml, did not induce transformation, whereas dioxane was very active in the induction of type III foci in the cultured BALBl3T3 cells.

## Abstract Balb/3T3 cells show densityβdependent regulation of multiplication with the final cell density depending on serum concentration in the media. Chemically transformed Balb/3T3 cells (Balb/3T3βD) pile up on each other, multiply to a high cell density, but have decreased DNA synthesis at ve
