SECTION 2: Hazards identification

HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS (3) The following information is furnished for those product hazardous constituents that require regulatory control or disclosure at the concentration found in the product. Note that the information here is often based on data from the chemical raw material (LD50, exposure limits, etc.) and that the product contains a significantly diluted concentration in an aqueous solution; thus, the assessment below has taken hazard reduction processing into consideration when possible. The GHS and EU classifications were made according to the latest editions, and expanded upon from company and literature data. (Refer to the Key below.) Chemical Ingredient Data / Information CAS#: 57-55-6 (100%) + Propylene Glycol RTECS#: TY2000000 (100%) + EC No: 200-338-0 (100%) + Synonyms: 1,2,-Propanediol [ 20% ] 1.3 Chemical Formula: C3H8O2 (100%) + Flash Point: 217F / 103C (100%) + LD50 (oral-rat): 20,000 mg/kg (100%) + TLV and PEL: NE IATA/DOT ID: NE HMIS Codes: H=1, F=0, R=0 ++ RCRA Code: NE GHS / 2008/1272/EC Classification: Not subject to EU 2008/1272/EC and GHS regulatory requirements ++ The chemical, physical and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated. Propylene glycol solutions may cause slight irritation by all routes of entry. The potential for these adverse health effects is unknown for the small volume of Propylene glycol in this product, but is unlikely if handled appropriately with the requisite Good Laboratory Practices. Dispose of this material in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulation. EU Labeling Classification for 100% chemical concentration per Table 3.2 of 2008/1272/EC - from Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC: Not Listed CAS#: 9002-89-5 (100%) + Polyvinyl Alcohol RTECS#: TY2000000 (100%) + EC No: 209-183-3 (100%) + [ 7.5 % w/v PVA] 1.3 Chemical Formula: (C2H4O)n (100%) + Flash Point: 174F / 79C (100%) + LD50 (oral-rat): >20,000 mg/kg (100%) + TLV and PEL: NE IATA/DOT ID: NE HMIS Codes: H=1, F=0, R=0 ++ RCRA Code: NE GHS / 2008/1272/EC Classification: Not subject to EU 2008/1272/EC and GHS regulatory requirements ++ Polyvinyl alcohol solutions are potentially irritating. [NOTE: this chemical has been designated by IARC with a carcinogen Classification 3, which indicates that "the Agent is NOT CLASSIFIABLE as Carcinogenic"]. The chemical, physical and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated. The potential for adverse health effects is unknown for the diluted, small volume of polyvinyl alcohol in this kit, but is unlikely if handled appropriately with the requisite Good Laboratory Practices and Universal Precautions. Dispose of this material in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulation. EU Labeling Classification for 100% chemical concentration per Table 3.2 of 2008/1272/EC - from Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC: Not Listed Key: + The Kit Concentration was not tested; the values refer to the solution concentration as tested, designated by percentage within parentheses. ++ The Kit Concentration was tested or the values given were estimated for the general diagnostic laboratory usage of the kit reagent dilution. NE: Not Established or Unknown (unable to locate data); typically for concentrate form unless otherwise specified. Abbreviations for component HMIS hazard ratings are as follows: H=Health, F=Flammability, R=Reactivity GHS = Globally Harmonized System RTECS # - Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances number PEL - Permissible Exposure Limit / Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) TLV/TWA – Threshold Limit Value / Time-Weighted Average STEL - Short Term Exposure Limit IDLH - Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Related product information:  Refer to section 2 for the full text of any GHS /2008/1272/EC statement coded above. Refer to section 16 for the full text of any Risk (R) and Safety (S) statement for the above kit component concentration.  No significant adverse health effects are expected by any route for the following chemical constituents in the kit volumes and concentrations present [dilution not subject to GHS or EU hazard labeling]:  < 1% Tris (TRIZMA HCl) buffer solution; Tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane: 2-amino-2-(hydroxy-methly)-1, 3-propanediol [C4H11NO3  HCl], EC No 214-684-5, CAS# 1185-53-1.  < 1% Tris (TRIZMA BASE) buffer solution; 2-Amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-3,1-propanediol, [C4H11NO3], EC No 201- 064-4, CAS# 77-86-1, 25149-07-9; 108195-86-4.  The miscellaneous salts, buffers, water, or other ingredients in the kit.  Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.  Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. EMERGENCY FIRST AID MEASURES (4)
