1 Coulter TM MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 1 Company and Product Identification Product Name Part Number itag MHC Tetramer reagents with CD8 antibody T01000, T01001, T01002, T01003, T01004, T01005 Doc. ID T AB Issued (year/month/day) Revised (year/month/day) 2002/04/08 Series Name Manufacturer Distributor and Emergency Phone No. itag MHC Tetramer Beckman Coulter, Inc Harbor Blvd. Fullerton, CA , U.S.A. Refer to attached list, Document ID: , for local distributor and emergency phone numbers. Section 2 Composition and Information on Ingredients Hazardous Ingredients: Emergency Overview None Section 3 Hazards Identification Colorless; Clear; Liquid; Odorless Nonflammable aqueous solution. Does not meet EU, OSHA or WHMIS criteria for hazardous materials. Contains material of animal origin. Physical Hazards Potential Health Effects Summary Product Hazard Classifications Beckman Coulter Safety Rating Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. This product contains concentrations of azide <0.1% (w/w) which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the build up of shock sensitive compounds. This product does not meet EU, OSHA or WHMIS criteria for hazardous materials. However, it does contain material of animal origin and should be considered potentially infectious. EU: WHMIS: Flammability (Section V): 0 Health (Section XI): 1 Reactivity with Water (Section X): 0 Contact (Section VIII): 1 Code 0=none 1=slight 2=caution 3=severe US OSHA: Section 4 First Aid Measures Inhalation If product is inhaled, move exposed individual to fresh air. If individual is not breathing, begin artificial respiration immediately and obtain medical attention Beckman Coulter, Inc. Global MSDS English

If irritation or redness develops, obtain medical attention. Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with plenty of soap and water. Use disinfectant if possible. If ingested, wash mouth out with water. If irritation or discomfort occurs, seek medical attention. Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures Flash Point Flammable Limits Autoignition Temp. Extinguishing Media Special Fire and Explosion Hazards Hazardous Combustion Products Protective Equipment for Firefighters Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding fire. No special hazards determined. Due to the nature and volume of this product, the type and amount of combustion products are negligible. Self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended for firefighters. Section 6 Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions Spill and Leak Procedures Environmental Precautions This product contains a material of biological origin. Use universal precautions during clean up procedures. As a precautionary measure, treat spilled material with a 1:10 bleach/water solution. Absorb liquid and place in container suitable for disposal. Avoid generation of aerosols during clean up. Comply with applicable waste disposal regulations. Contain spill to prevent migration. Section 7 Handling and Storage Handling Precautions Recommended Storage Conditions This product should be handled as though capable of transmitting infectious diseases. Universal precautions should be followed when using this product. Keep away from incompatible material. To maintain efficacy, store according to the instructions in the product labeling. Section 8 Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Exposure Limits US OSHA: ACGIH: DFG MAK:

Use with good general ventilation. Under normal conditions, the use of this product should not require respiratory protection. If overexposure should occur and ventilation is not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations at acceptable levels, the use of respiratory protection should be evaluated by a qualified professional. Safety glasses or chemical goggles should be worn to prevent eye contact. Impervious gloves, such as latex or equivalent, should be worn to prevent skin contact. Section 9 Physical and Chemical Properties Physical State Liquid Color Colorless Transparency Clear Odor Odorless Odor Threshold ph 8.0 Boiling Point Melting Point Specific Gravity Vapor Pressure Vapor Density Evaporation Rate Solubility Water Organic C Miscible Section 10 Stability and Reactivity Stability Hazardous Incompatibilities Hazardous Decomposition Products Conditions to Avoid Stable under normal temperatures and pressures. Strong acids Strong bases Strong oxidizers Metals and metallic compounds Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. Repeated contact of low concentrations of azide with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the build up of shock sensitive compounds. When stored as labeled, no known hazardous decomposition products are formed during the shelf-life of this product. Keep away from incompatible material.

Specific paths of concern for potentially infectious materials are skin puncture, contact with broken skin, contact with mucous membranes and inhalation of aerosolized material. This product contains materials of animal origin and should be considered potentially infectious. No other health hazards were identified from a review of available literature. Effects are similar to those for acute exposure. No specific symptoms identified. No ingredients in this product are listed as carcinogens by ACGIH, IARC, NTP, OSHA or 67/548/EEC Annex I. None identified. None identified. Section 12 Ecological Information Ecotoxicity Biodegradability Mobility Section 13 Disposal Considerations Waste Disposal Dispose of waste product, unused product and contaminated packaging in compliance with federal, state and local regulations. If unsure of the applicable requirements, contact the authorities for information. Sodium azide preservative may form explosive compounds in metal drain lines.
