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. If experiencing respiratory symptoms (wheezing, shortness of breath), call a POISON CENTER or doctor.
Skin
Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Wash the skin with plenty of soap and water. If a rash develops, get medical advice: the material may cause an allergic skin reaction.
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.
General
If exposed or concerned, get medical advice. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor. Pregnant or nursing laboratory staff should avoid exposure.
Most Important Symptoms And Effects
allergic skin rash; wheezing, chest tightness or asthma-like symptoms after inhalation in sensitised individuals.
Likely Routes Of Exposure
Inhalation of dust, skin and eye contact when the vial is opened or the powder is weighed; ingestion through contaminated hands; accidental injection when reconstituted solutions are drawn into syringes.

5Fire-fighting measures

Fire Fighting Information
Combustible organic solid; finely divided powder may form dust clouds. Not flammable in the quantities supplied.

6Accidental release measures

Spill And Clean Up Procedures
Avoid dust formation. Dampen spilled powder with water, wipe up with absorbent material, place in a sealed container for disposal and clean the area with water and detergent.

7Handling and storage

Safe Handling
Open vials only in a clean area. Avoid generating or inhaling dust; weigh or reconstitute inside a ventilated enclosure when the full contents are handled as a dry powder. Reconstitute by adding diluent slowly to the vial wall; do not shake. Wash hands after handling.
Safe Storage
Store the sealed vial at the temperature stated in Section 9 (typically −20 °C for peptides, 2–8 °C for proteins), desiccated and protected from light. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to avoid condensation. Reconstituted solutions: 2–8 °C, protected from light; use within the period established by your laboratory.
Storage Temperature
−20 °C (sealed vial), desiccated and protected from light; 2–8 °C acceptable for short periods
Incompatible Materials
Bases and strong acids (PolyPeptide); strong oxidizing agents (generic)
