Other Components: Lyophilized with or without stabilizing excipients (e.g. mannitol, trehalose, acetate buffer) depending on product form
Ingredient Disclosure: Not considered hazardous according to regulatory definitions for laboratory-grade peptides
General Advice: Remove from exposure area, seek medical attention for severe or ongoing symptoms
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep at rest, seek medical attention for persistent irritation or difficulty breathing
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, seek medical attention for continued discomfort
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, hydrocortisone cream may help mild irritation
Ingestion: Wash mouth, give small amounts of water, do not induce vomiting, consult doctor if large amounts consumed or symptoms develop
Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically, monitor for allergic reactions
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, or foam
Unsuitable Media: Do not use high pressure water stream which may spread powder
Hazards from Burning: Decomposition releases nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, and traces of organic vapors
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing recommended for large fires
Specific Procedures: Prevent runoff to sewers or waterways, cool containers exposed to heat, evacuate area if fire grows large
Personal Precautions: Reduce dust formation, ventilate area, use appropriate PPE such as protective gloves, laboratory coat, and eyewear
Environmental Precautions: Avoid allowing material to enter the environment, prevent dust spreading with damp towels or absorbent materials
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum using HEPA filtration if available, place residue in leak-proof waste containers, wash area with water and mild detergent, ventilate room
Notification Procedures: Report significant spills to facility safety representative as defined by institutional policy
Handling: Minimize dust and aerosol generation, handle in well-ventilated laboratory spaces, do not eat, drink, or smoke when working with peptide powders
Storage: Store in sealed vials at -20°C for long term stability, keep away from heat and sources of ignition, avoid moisture exposure
Packaging Materials: Use original containers, keep tightly sealed after opening, secondary containment recommended if large volumes are stored
Incompatibilities: Avoid strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents that can degrade peptide integrity
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or work in a chemical fume hood, systems must provide adequate air changes and reduce airborne particulates
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for peptides, observe good laboratory safety standards
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, laboratory coat, splash-proof safety goggles or face shield for larger quantities, NIOSH-certified dust mask for bulk handling

Conditions to Avoid: Moisture, prolonged exposure to air, high temperatures degrade peptide chains
Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidizers, acids, or bases which can fragment or denature peptide
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Heating generates carbon oxides, nitrogen compounds, potential low-toxic organic fragments
Reactivity: No hazardous reactions in standard laboratory or research applications
Acute Toxicity: Low oral and dermal toxicity expected based on peptide structure and literature references
Routes of Exposure: Eyes, skin, inhalation, ingestion
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Limited evidence of irritation, lower risk compared to many synthetic compounds
Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause mild transient discomfort, standard rinse usually sufficient
Respiratory Sensitization: Possible in susceptible individuals if handled as airborne powder
Chronic Effects: No evidence of carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, or reproductive effects from standard laboratory use
Additional Data: Specific peptide sequences not listed on IARC, ACGIH, NTP, or OSHA carcinogen lists
