4First-Aid Measures
- Inhalation
- Move the person to fresh air and keep them comfortable for breathing. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
- Skin contact
- Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
- Eye contact
- Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, then continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
- Ingestion
- Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
- Symptoms and effects
- No specific data available; symptoms of overexposure are not established.
- Note to physician
- Treat symptomatically. Contact U.S. Poison Control (1-800-222-1222).
5Fire-Fighting Measures
- Suitable media
- Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2) or alcohol-resistant foam.
- Unsuitable media
- None known.
- Special hazards
- Thermal decomposition may release carbon oxides (CO, CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
- Advice for firefighters
- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective equipment.
6Accidental Release Measures
- Personal precautions
- Wear appropriate PPE (Section 8). Avoid dust formation and inhalation. Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Environmental precautions
- Prevent entry into drains, waterways and soil.
- Containment and cleanup
- Collect using dust-suppressing methods and place in a sealed, labelled container for disposal. Avoid generating airborne dust. Clean the affected surface after removal.
7Handling and Storage
- Safe handling
- Use only in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood or laminar-flow enclosure. Wear PPE. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing; avoid inhalation and ingestion. Follow Good Laboratory Practice. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
- Storage conditions
- Store the lyophilized powder tightly sealed at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of reconstituted solutions; prepare fresh and store cold. Keep away from incompatible materials (Section 10).
- Shelf life
- Per batch Certificate of Analysis. Verify the lot at vertexhealthlabs.com/coa.
8Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
