All reagents should be handled in accordance with good laboratory practices using appropriate precautions. In addition, handle all patient samples with appropriate precautions as described in “Biosafety in Microbial and Biomedical Laboratories”, 2nd ed., 1988. HHS Publication No. (CDC) 88-8395, Centers for Disease Control. There are no reported further health hazards for the product in the current formulation and applications. The product contain substances that may be hazardous when available in significant amounts and should be treated as potentially biohazardous. No toxic effects are to be expected when the product is handled appropriately. The product may enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, skin contact and eye contact. Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. Components of this product contain azide < 0,1% (w/v). Repeated contact of these components with lead and copper, commonly found in plumbing drains, should be avoided as this may result in the buildup of shock-sensitive compound. On disposal, flush with large amounts of water to prevent azide build-up.
