4First-aid measures

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult or symptoms persist, call a POISON CENTER or doctor.
Skin: Take off contaminated clothing. Wash the skin with plenty of soap and water. If irritation or a rash develops, get medical advice.
Eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists, get medical advice.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor if you feel unwell.
Injection: For an accidental needle-stick: wash the site with soap and water, do not squeeze, cover with a dressing and seek medical advice; report the incident according to your laboratory's sharps procedure.

Most Important Symptoms And Effects

No specific symptoms are known. Pharmacologically active material: systemic effects consistent with its mechanism of action are possible after accidental injection, ingestion or absorption.

Likely Routes Of Exposure

Accidental needle-stick injection; skin and eye contact from splashes; ingestion is unlikely.

5Fire-fighting measures

Fire Fighting Information: Aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol; not flammable and does not support combustion.

6Accidental release measures

Spill And Clean Up Procedures: Absorb small spills with paper towel or an inert absorbent, place in a sealed container for disposal and clean the area with water and detergent. Pick up broken glass with tongs or forceps, never by hand.

7Handling and storage

Safe Handling: Handle the device as a sharp: never recap or reuse needles, keep fingers away from the needle, and discard used devices into a rigid sharps container. Avoid splashes to eyes and skin. Wash hands after handling.
Safe Storage: Store at 2–8 °C in the original carton, protected from light. Do not freeze; discard if the solution has frozen or is discoloured or cloudy. Once in use, keep the device capped between uses.
Storage Temperature: 2–8 °C, protected from light; do not freeze
Incompatible Materials: None specified by supplier

8Exposure controls / personal protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: Benzyl alcohol: no OSHA PEL, ACGIH TLV or NIOSH REL; AIHA WEEL 10 ppm (44 mg/m³) 8-h TWA. Present at 0.9%.

No occupational exposure limits have been established for the active ingredient(s).
Exposure Controls And PPE: No data available.

9Physical and chemical properties

Physical State

Liquid

Appearance

Clear, colourless to faintly yellow aqueous solution

Properties

Odor: Odourless to faint aromatic odour (benzyl alcohol)
Ph: Approximately 4.5–7.0 (bacteriostatic water, USP) unless adjusted
Melting: About 0 °C (aqueous solution)
Boiling: About 100 °C (aqueous solution)
Flash: Not flammable; aqueous solution (benzyl alcohol flash point 93–101 °C, present at 0.9%)

Density: About 1.00–1.02 g/mL at 20 °C
Solubility: Aqueous solution; miscible with water
Logp: Not determined
Decomp: Not applicable (aqueous solution); dissolved peptide degrades on heating

10Stability and reactivity

Stability And Reactivity

Reactivity: No hazardous reactions known; stable when stored and handled per specifications
Incompatible: None specified by supplier (generic for peptides: strong oxidizing agents, strong acids/bases)
Decomposition: No dangerous decomposition products known (combustion would give carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides)
Conditions To Avoid: None specified; store at -20 C, desiccated, protected from light; avoid repeated freeze-thaw

Conditions To Avoid

12Ecological information

Ecological Information: No aquatic toxicity, persistence or bioaccumulation data available. Cayman self-assessment: water hazard class 1 (slightly hazardous for water); do not discharge to groundwater or drains. PBT/vPvB not applicable.

13Disposal considerations

Disposal Guidance: No data available.

14Transport information

Transport Classification

Note: Not regulated as a dangerous good for transport by road (DOT 49 CFR), air (IATA/ICAO) or sea (IMDG). Not a marine pollutant. Ship refrigerated or frozen as required by Section 7; the coolant (dry ice, UN 1845) is regulated when used.

15Regulatory information

Regulatory Information

Tsca: Not listed on TSCA inventory (Cayman)
Carcinogen Listings: Not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or EPA
Dea: Not a controlled substance
Other: SARA 313: not listed. Transport: not regulated (DOT/IMDG/IATA). WADA remark: ARA-290 is an erythropoietin-derived peptide (helix-B surface peptide) that does not bind the classical EPO receptor; it is not specifically named on the WADA Prohibited List but authors may note WADA S2.1 (agents affecting erythropoiesis) as a remark only.

Carcinogen Listings

No data available.
