Hazard Class: Not classified as a hazardous substance under GHS guidelines
Label Elements: No hazard pictograms or signal words assigned
Key Hazards: May cause mild skin or eye irritation in susceptible individuals, possible respiratory effects if inhaled as a dust, not expected to be mutagenic or carcinogenic
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Asthma, allergy, or respiratory sensitivity
Target Organs: None specifically identified; normal handling incurs low risk
Chemical Identity: Glycogenase (Enzyme preparation, derived from microbial or animal sources)
Concentration: Pure enzyme preparation (typically >95%)
Other Ingredients: Stabilizers and buffer salts <5% (Sodium chloride, Tris-HCl, as examples)
Impurities: None with significant risk outlined in supplier documentation
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, observe for respiratory discomfort, seek medical attention for persistent symptoms
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of water and soap, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical care if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, continue rinsing, consult a healthcare provider if discomfort persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, drink water if conscious, consult a healthcare professional for assessment
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None specifically identified, use common measures appropriate for fire in area
Special Hazards: Thermal decomposition may release carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides, otherwise low risk of hazardous combustion products
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat, avoid creating dust, ventilate the area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into drains or water bodies
Cleanup Methods: Scoop or vacuum spilled powder, dampen residue to prevent dust, collect material in suitable containers for disposal
Decontamination: Wash spill area with mild detergent and water after cleanup
Handling Waste: Dispose of contaminated material as biological waste in accordance with regional practices
Handling: Avoid inhaling dust or direct skin contact, use in a well-ventilated environment with recommended PPE
Storage Conditions: Store tightly sealed at 2–8°C, avoid freezing unless provided as lyophilized powder, keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids or oxidizing agents
Container Requirements: Use original packaging or compatible plastic/glass containers
Storage Incompatibility: Strong oxidizing agents, acids
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific TLV/PEL set for glycogenase
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation for bulk handling, keep dust concentrations low, biosafety cabinet recommended for higher-risk operations
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, lab coat, safety goggles, dust mask or respirator (N95) if dust risk is present, avoid eating or drinking near work area
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, remove contaminated clothing promptly
Appearance: White to off-white powder or lyophilized pellet, may appear granular or crystalline

Melting Point/Freezing Point: Not applicable, enzyme deactivates at higher temperatures
Solubility: Freely soluble in water and common buffer solutions
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Flash Point: Not flammable
Vapor Pressure: Not relevant
Relative Density: Approximately 1.2 g/cm3 (powder)
Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal temperature and pressure, may degrade if exposed to heat, moisture, or incompatible substances
Reactivity: Not reactive under standard laboratory conditions, avoid contamination with strong acids, bases, or oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition: Possible release of carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides if severely heated or combusted
Polymerization: Not known to occur
Acute Toxicity: Not expected to be toxic in small, controlled exposures, data on significant ingestion lacking
Skin/Eye Irritation: Mild irritation can occur from dust exposure
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract discomfort, coughing, or allergic response in sensitive individuals
Chronic Effects: Sensitization possible after repeated skin or respiratory exposure
Carcinogenicity: No evidence found linking glycogenase to cancer
Mutagenicity: No mutagenic potential observed in standard assays
Reproductive Toxicity: No negative reproductive effects reported from occupational or experimental exposure
Ecotoxicity: Not expected to be harmful to aquatic or terrestrial environments at typical laboratory or production scale concentrations
Persistence/Degradability: Readily biodegradable, enzyme breaks down rapidly under environmental conditions
Bioaccumulation: Not anticipated to bioaccumulate due to protein nature and degradation
Mobility: Water soluble, disperses in water with no expected negative ecological effects
Other Adverse Effects: No ozone depletion, greenhouse effect, or specialized hazard expected
Disposal Methods: Place in appropriately labeled biological waste, incinerate or landfill following local, state, and federal regulations
