Principle Routes of Exposure

Only when used as directed

Classification system

In compliance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29CFR 1910.1200), a chemical mixture is considered hazardous if it contains 1.0% or more of a hazardous compound or 0.1% or more of a carcinogen. The product contains hazardous material(s) in excess of these amounts; therefore, precautions adequate for the pure form of the material(s) are presented here. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) ratings (scale 0-4): Health=0 Fire=0 Reactivity=0 Hazard Overview Health: Minimal risk if used as directed. Fire: Not considered a fire hazard. Reactivity: Glycine-Saline Buffer (20X) Concentrate contains Sodium Chloride; Glycine; and Sodium Azide. Minimal risk. Special Hazards: Sodium Chloride: Not considered a fire hazard. Glycine: With heat, oxides of nitrogen, ammonia, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are formed. Sodium Azide: In dry form, decomposes explosively on heating. Reacts with copper and lead to produce explosive azides. Carcinogenicity information OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration): None of the ingredients is listed. NTP (National Toxicology Program): None of the ingredients is listed. IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer): None of the ingredients is listed. SECTION 3 – PRODUCT COMPOSITION The test kit is composed of ASO Latex Reagent, ASO Positive Control, Negative Control, and Glycine-Saline Buffer (20X) Concentrate. ASO Latex Reagent/1126 (The reagent contains by percentage the following amounts of chemicals) Sodium Chloride 7647-14-5 20.0 % ** Glycine 56-40-6 15.0 % ** Sodium Azide 26628-22-8 2.0 % ** **Once concentrate is diluted to final volume, solution is below hazardous limits: sodium chloride will be 1%, glycine will be 0.75%, sodium azide will be 0.1%.
