CRYOPRESERVED HUMAN RENAL PROXIMAL

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Each donor is tested and found non-reactive to viral DNA from HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV I, HTLV II, hepatitis B, syphilis, CMV and hepatitis C. However, no known test can offer complete assurance that the viruses that cause HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV I, HTLV II, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are not present. Proper precautions and biological containment should be taken when handling cells of human origin, due to their potential biohazardous nature. All human based products should be handled at a BSL-2 (Biosafety Level 2) or higher. Frozen cultures may contain 5-20% DMSO and/or 0-10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Fetal bovine serum is considered non-hazardous per 21 CFR 1910.1200. Since workers differ in sensitivity to animal derived materials, Zen-Bio recommends that Good Laboratory Practices be exercised when using these products, including the use of gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat.
