Sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as bacteriostatic preservative. For reconstitution of lyophilized peptides only.
Eye contact: Immediately rinse with running water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if easily removable. If irritation persists, seek ophthalmological assessment.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical advice if irritation develops.
Inhalation: Move the affected person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Obtain medical assistance if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical advice immediately.
Symptoms: No specific acute or delayed effects have been documented for laboratory-scale handling. Treat symptomatically.
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide (CO₂), or water spray.
Hazardous decomposition products: Combustion may release oxides of carbon (CO, CO₂), oxides of nitrogen (NOₓ), and other irritant or toxic fumes.
Protective equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full-face mask and full chemical-resistant protective clothing.
Personal precautions: Avoid generation and inhalation of dust. Wear PPE specified in Section 8. Restrict access to the contaminated area until cleanup is complete.
Environmental precautions: Prevent the substance from entering drains, sewers, surface water, or soil.
Containment & cleanup: Carefully sweep or vacuum (HEPA-filtered) the spilled material. Place residues into a sealed, clearly labelled waste container. Decontaminate the affected surface with water. Dispose of waste in accordance with Section 13.
Safe handling: Handle exclusively in a properly ventilated laboratory environment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes; avoid generating dust or aerosols. Wash hands and exposed skin after handling. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in handling areas.
Storage: Keep the original container tightly sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, protected from light and moisture. Lyophilized form: long-term storage at −20 °C to −80 °C is recommended; short-term storage at 2–8 °C is acceptable. Reconstituted solution: store at 2–8 °C and use within the timeframe specified in batch documentation.
Specific end use(s): In vitro laboratory research and analytical applications only.
Occupational exposure limits: No EU-wide or national occupational exposure limit values have been established for this substance.
Engineering controls: Local exhaust ventilation or fume hood when handling powder, particularly during weighing or reconstitution.
Personal protective equipment:
- Eye protection: tight-fitting safety goggles compliant with EN 166.
- Skin protection: chemical-resistant nitrile gloves compliant with EN ISO 374-1; laboratory coat.
- Respiratory protection: particulate filter mask (FFP2 or FFP3 per EN 149) when adequate ventilation is not available.
