Avoid contact with the eyes.
· Breathing equipment:
Normal use and storage of product - respiratory protection is not necessary if room is well ventilated.

Small-volume spills (e.g. small enough to clean up with a paper towel or small sorbent pad) - respiratory protection
should not be necessary if room is well ventilated.

Other unusual conditions (e.g. volume spilled too big to clean up with materials in arm's reach) - Use appropriate
air-purifying respirator if airborne chemical concentrations may exceed the exposure limit (if any) listed above.

Hazardous Materials Emergencies or Firefighting - use approved respiratory protection.

Take precautions if chemical concentrations exceed the exposure limits (if any) listed above.
· Hand protection
Wear impervious gloves if hand contact with the material is anticipated. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use
in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
· Material of gloves and breakthrough time of the glove material:
The glove material must be suitable for use in a microbiological laboratory and have a measured breakthrough
time of at least 30 minutes, such as those with a Class 2 protection index per EN374 (or equivalent standard
applicable in your region). NOTE: This recommendation applies only to the product stated in this Safety Data
Sheet. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances, contact the supplier of approved gloves.
· Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses or other protective eyewear. If splash potential exists, wear full face shield or goggles.
· Body protection:
Normal use: protect personal clothing from spatters and small spills. Wear a laboratory coat (or other protective
clothing required by your institution). Larger spills (e.g. that can saturate cloth): wear appropriate water-repellant
covering over clothing.
