SECTION 2: HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONFor Biosafety Level 2 Cell Cultures
Handle as a potentially biohazardous material under at least Biosafety Level 2 containment.
These cell lines are assoicated with human disease, hazards include: percutaneous injury,ingestion, mucous membrane exposure (U.S. Government Publication ​Biosafety in
Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories​). These cells have ​NOT​ been screened for
Hepatitis B, human immunodeficiency viruses or otehr adventitious agents, unlessotherwise reported on the Certificate of Analysis. Regardless of results reported on teh
Certificate of Analysis Universal Precautions according to 29 CFR 1910.1030 should be
followed at all times when manipulating these cell lines.
SECTION 3: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS​ ​SUBSTANCE
Frozen Cultures may also contain a 5% - 20% solution of Dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotectantand less than 10% of inorganic salts.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of necessary measures.
Inhalation:
If person is unconscious, seek emergency medical attentions, if person isconscious, remove to fresh air and call a physician.
Skin contact:
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothes.
Consult a physician if area becomes inflamed.
Eye contact:
Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes witheyelids separated. Consult a physician immediately.
Ingestion;
If person is unconscious, seek emergency medical attention; never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If the person is conscious,
wash mouth out with copious amounts of water and call a physician thenadminister three cupfuls of water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed
to do so by a physician.

SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media:
Fire-extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide, foam (alcohol foam), water.
Specific hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
May give off irritating or toxic fumes (or gasses) in fires. During firefighting, wear properprotective equipment to avoid smoke inhalation.
Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent inhalation,ingestion,skin and eye contact.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
If indoors, ventilate adequately until disposal is complete. Rope off location around area of
release to prevent access by unauthorized personnel. Wear laboratory coat, gloves and eye
protection. Avoid all contact.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:Patient/Victim: ​Wash with soap and water. Work clothes should be laundered separately.
Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. Do not take clothing home.
Equipment/Environment:​ Allow aerosols to settle; wearing protective clothing, gently
cover spill with paper towel and apply suitable disinfectants such as chlorine bleach or 70%
ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Start at perimeter and work towards the center; allow sufficient
contact time before clean up (30 minutes).
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Follow Universal Precautions and established laboratory procedures when handling material.
Handle as a potentially biohazardous material under Biosafety Level 1 or 2 containment. Celllines.
Special Requirements:
Follow all appropriate safety procedures when handling all cell lines, especially those derived
from huma or other primate material. Detailed discussions of laboratory safety procedures areprovided in Laboratory Safety: Principles and Practice (Fleming, et al., 1995), the ATCC manualon quality control (Hay, et al., 1992), the Jurnal of Tissue Culture Methods (Caputo, 1988), Ndin the U.S. Government Publication, Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories(CDC, 1999).

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Use Personal Protective Equipment: ​Including Eye Protection, Chemical REsistant Gloves,and appropriate clothing to prevent skin exposure. In addition, a Respiratory protection programthat complies with OSHA 29 CFT 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN I49 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use.
Appropriate engineering controls: ​The use and storage of this material requires the user tomaintain and make available appropriate eyewash and safety shower facilities. Use fume hood orother appropriate ventilation method to keep airborne concentrations as low as possible.
Exposure Limits: ​No exposure limits for this material have been established by ACGIH,NIOSH, or OSHA.
