4. First aid measures

After inhalation: Immediately remove the causality from exposure and move to fresh air. If the breathing stops, immediately apply mechanical ventilation and apply an oxygen mask if available. Arrange medical treatment. Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Skin contact: Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and revomve any contact lenses. Get medical attention.

5. Fire-fighting measures:

Flammability of the product: Fire Hazard; Flash point 250 C or 482 F Explosion Hazard: If this material in powder form, it is capable of creating a dust explosion. Suitable extinguishing media: Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

6. Accidental release measures:

Personal precautions No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel for entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Environmental precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Small spill Stop leak if without risk. Move containers for spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

7. Handling and storage:

Handling: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Keep in the original containers; expiry date is printed on the kit box label. Take care to keep workplace clean and dry. The substances used should not be present at the place of work in qualities above those required for carrying out the work. Do not leave containers open. Storage: Components of kits require store between the following temperatures: 2 to 8 C or -20 C. Refer components lable for details. Keep containers tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Specific use: The product is intended for research use only. Intended for professional use only.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection:

Hands: Chemical-resistance, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical and biological products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Eyes Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases, or dusts. Skin Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this kit.
