hs-CRP ELISA

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Potential Biohazard: Reference standards in Troponin I kits are formulated with a human serum base and with BSA in the Myoglobin and hs-CRP kits. 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: Reference standards, enzyme conjugate and sample diluent (except Troponin I) in kits are formulated with ProClin-300 as a preservative. TMB Reagent contains tetramethylbenzidine and hydrogen peroxide. In case of contact with any of these reagents, wash thoroughly with water.
