found negative.
This serum was heat inactivated but should be handled as
potentially infectious according to the Centers for Disease/
National Institute of Health guidelines and OSHA regulations.
Component of Positive and Negative Controls.
Human Cell Line <1 IFA cell substrate slides have HIV-1 infected and non-infected
cells in their wells. The slides have been solvent fixed and are
not considered to be infectious or carcinogenic.
Component of Slides.
Sodium Azide >1 Sodium azide may react with lead and copper plumbing to form
explosive metal azides. On disposal, flash with a large volume
of water to prevent azide build up.
Sodium azide is a highly poisonous agent. It may cause eye,
skin and tissue irritation if splashed, spilled, or ingested. It can
be fatal if ingested or injected in quantities above those found
in the kit. LD 50 ( rat oral ): 27mg/kg.
