Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Biohazard:
Calibrators are formulated with a buffer base, animal or human serum. The kit components that are made
with human serum are tested by a United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) licensed method
and found to be non-reactive for HIV-1, HIV-2, Hepatitis B surface antigen and HCV. Because no test
method can offer absolute assurance that these agents are absent, reagents should be handled at the
Biosafety Level 2, as recommended for any potentially infectious human blood product, in the United
States Center for Disease Control (USCDC) and National Institute of Health (USNIH) manual "Biosafety
in Microbiological Laboratories", 1988. All bovine serum products used are derived from animals of US
origin, processed in USDA licensed facilities
Chemical Hazard:
Wash Buffer, Serum Diluent and Calibrators in kits are formulated with Sodium Azide as a preservative.
Concentrated Sodium Azide may react with copper and lead plumbing to form explosive metal azides. It
may also react with acids to form explosive hydrazoic acid. If drain disposed, flush with large amounts of
water to prevent azide build-up. Avoid contact with Stop Solution containing 1N H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid),
an irritant to the skin and mucous membranes. Substrate Solution A contains Dimethyl Sulfoxide. In case
of contact with any of these reagents, wash thoroughly with water.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
formulated with Sodium Azide as a preservative. Sodium
Azide may react with copper and lead plumbing to form
explosive metal azides that are sensitive to mechanical shock,
concussion, friction and sparks. May react with acids to form
explosive hydrazoic acid. Dimethyl Sulfoxide in Substrate
