Index Number
LIQUID ANTIBODY WITH LESS THAN None None None
0.1% SODIUM AZIDE
Ingredient Name Percent CAS # EC no Annex I
Index Number
The hazards identified None None None
with this product are
those associated with
the following
component(s):
SODIUM AZIDE < 0.1 26628-22-8 247-852-1 011-004-00-7
Symbols: T+ N
R-Phrases: 28 32 50/53
Very toxic if swallowed. Contact with acids liberates very toxic
gas. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment.
3 - Hazards Identification
SPECIAL INDICATION OF HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Not hazardous according to Directive 67/548/EC.
4 - First Aid Measures
AFTER INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT
In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water for
at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Call a physician.
AFTER EYE CONTACT
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of
water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by
separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is
conscious. Call a physician immediately.
5 - Fire Fighting Measures
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Suitable: Water spray. Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or
appropriate foam.
SPECIAL RISKS
Specific Hazard(s): Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Explosion Hazards: Azide reacts with many heavy metals such as
lead, copper, mercury, silver, gold to form explosive compounds.
Copper and lead azides are more sensitive than nitroglycerine.
Azide reacts with metal halides to give a range of metal azide
halides, many of which are explosive. Incompatible with chromyl
chloride, hydrazine, bromine, carbon disulfide, dimethyl
sulfate, dibromomalonitrile.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
6 - Accidental Release Measures
PROCEDURE(S) OF PERSONAL PRECAUTION(S)
Wear respirator, chemical safety goggles, rubber boots, and
heavy rubber gloves.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
Spilled material should be carefully wiped up or moistened with
water and removed. Ventilate area and wash spill site after
material pickup is complete.
7 - Handling and Storage
HANDLING
Directions for Safe Handling: Avoid inhalation. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated
exposure.
STORAGE
Conditions of Storage: Keep tightly closed.
Store at -20掳C
8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Safety shower and eye bath. Mechanical exhaust required.
GENERAL HYGIENE MEASURES
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before
reuse.

STABILITY
Stable: Stable.
Materials to Avoid: Dimethyl sulfate is incompatible with sodium
azid, Acid chlorides, Halogenated solvents Avoid contact with
metals. Avoid contact with acid. Sodium azide may react with lead
and copper plumbing to form highly explosive metal azides.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nature of decomposition products
not known.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
11 - Toxicological Information
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Many azides cause a fall in blood pressure and some inhibit
enzyme action. Laboratory experiments in animals have shown
sodium azide to produce a profound hypotensive effect,
demyelination of myelinated nerve fibers in the central nervous
system, testicular damage, blindness, attacks of rigidity, and
hepatic and cerebral effects. To the best of our knowledge, the
chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been
SIGMA - F3929 www.sigma-aldrich.com Page 3
thoroughly investigated.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation.
Skin Absorption: May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.
Inhalation: Material may be irritating to mucous membranes and
upper respiratory tract. May be harmful if inhaled.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.
12 - Ecological Information
No data available.
