Transglutaminase ELISA Kit

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Potential Biohazard: Calibrators are formulated with a buffer base, animal or human serum. The kit components that are made with human serum are tested by a United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) licensed method and found to be non-reactive for HIV-1, HIV-2, Hepatitis B surface antigen and HCV. Because no test method can offer absolute assurance that these agents are absent, reagents should be handled at the Biosafety Level 2, as recommended for any potentially infectious human blood product, in the United States Center for Disease Control (USCDC) and National Institute of Health (USNIH) manual "Biosafety in Microbiological Laboratories", 1988. All bovine serum products used are derived from animals of US origin, processed in USDA licensed facilities Chemical Hazard: Wash Buffer, Serum Diluent and Calibrators in kits are formulated with Sodium Azide as a preservative. Concentrated Sodium Azide may react with copper and lead plumbing to form explosive metal azides. It may also react with acids to form explosive hydrazoic acid. If drain disposed, flush with large amounts of water to prevent azide build-up. Components also contain bromo-nitro-dioxane which is harmful by ACTH ELISA Kit Code # 7023 inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Avoid contact with Stop Solution containing 1N H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid), an irritant to the skin and mucous membranes.
