11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Na-azide : may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. May
cause eye irritation. May cause skin irritation. Exposure can
cause: nausea, headache and vomiting. May alter genetic
material. Laboratory experiments in animals have shown sodium
azide to produce a profound hypotensive effect, demyelisation of
myelinated nerve fibres in the central nervous system, testicular
damage, blindness, attacks of rigidity, hepatic and cerebral
effects.
Bovine serum albumin : the BSA used in the preparation of this kit was derived from
bovine blood collected at a USDA licensed establishment. All
donor animals were sourced from the USA. The cattle received
ante- and post-mortem health inspection and they were
apparently free from infectious and contagious diseases.
