Handle as a potentially infectious material. Minimize exposure by using appropriate personal protective equipment as listed in Section 8. Stop leak if possible. Keep unprotected persons away.

Blot up small volumes of spilled or spattered product with paper towels or similar materials.

Contain larger spills by placing absorbants around the outside edges of the spill. Absorb with any material suitable for water-based liquids - e.g. paper towels, universal sorbents, sand, diatomite, sawdust, etc.

Prevent liquid and vapor from entering sewage system, storm drains, surface waters, and soil.

Clean the affected area. Suitable cleaners are: warm water and detergent or similar cleansing agent. Apply a suitable disinfectant.

Materials: paper towels, universal sorbents, sand, diatomite, sawdust, etc.

Handle as a potentially infectious material.

Store only in the original container. Refer to the package insert or product label for additional information on storage conditions for product quality. Protect from heat and direct sunlight.

No special measures required.

Wear impervious gloves if hand contact with the material is anticipated. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. The glove material must be suitable for use in a microbiological laboratory and have a measured breakthrough time of at least 30 minutes, such as those with a Class 2 protection index per EN374 (or equivalent standard applicable in your region).
