Caution
TRIzol® Reagent contains phenol (toxic and corrosive) and guanidine isothiocyanate (an irritant), and may be a health hazard if
not handled properly. Always work with TRIzol® Reagent in a fume hood, and always wear a lab coat, gloves and safety glasses.
Contact your Environmental Heath and Safety (EH&S) department for proper work and disposal guidelines. Avoid direct contact
with TRIzol® Reagent, because contact to skin, eyes, or respiratory tract may cause chemical burns to the exposed area. If contact
to skin or eyes occurs, immediately wash the exposed area with copious amounts of water for 15 minutes and seek medical
attention if necessary. If you inhale vapors, move to fresh air and seek medical attention if necessary. For more information, refer
to the TRIzol® Reagent SDS (Safety Data Sheet), available from our web site at www.lifetechnologies.com/support.
