MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBSTANCE
Catalogue Number: AGT-013
Product Name: Anti-Proline Transporter (PROT)
COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
CAS No.: None
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Label precautionary statements.
Sodium azide may react with lead and copper plumbing
to form highly explosive metal azides.
FIRST AID MEASURES
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided
person is conscious.
Call a physician immediately.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give
artificial respiration. If breathing is breathing is difficult,
give oxygen.
In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of
water for at least 15 minutes, remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Call a physician.
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.
FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media:
Water spray.
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate
foam.
Special Firefighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Unusual fire and explosive 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. Emits toxic fumes
under fire conditions.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuate area and wash spill site after material pickup is
complete. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus,
rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves. Wear
disposable overalls and discard them after use. Spilied
material should be carefully wiped up or moistened with
water and removed. Sweep up and place in an
appropriate container. Hold for appropriate disposal.
Decontaminate spill site with 10% caustic solution and
ventilate area after pick-up is complete.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container
in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above -20ºC
(-4ºF).
Handling: Keep away from heat. Keep away from
source of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk,
Avoid contact with skin. Wear suitable protective
clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable
respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice
immediately and show the container or the label.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Wear appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator,
chemical resistant gloves, safety goggles, longsleeved
coveralls with tight collar and cuffs and shoe covers.
Lab should be equipped with safety shower and an eye
wash station. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.
Do not breath dust. Do not get in eyes on skin or on
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
May be harmful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed
through skin and eyes .To the best of our knowledge,
the chemical, physical and toxicological properties have
not been thoroughly investigated.
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, hepatic and cerebral effects. To the best of our
knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological
properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
DISPOSAL CONDITIONS
Methods of disposal: Waste must be disposed of in
accordance with federal, state and local environmental
control regulations.
OTHER INFORMATION
The above information is believed to be correct, but
does not purport to be all inclusive and should be used
as a guide only for experienced personnel. Always
consult your safety advisor and follow local and national
safety legislation. The absence of warning may not,
under any circumstances, be taken to mean that no
hazard exists.
