Sal de Tetrazolium é perigoso?

Prezados,

Hoje fui questionada sobre esse tema. Teoricamente TZ é um sal e não haveria reações periogosas.

Conforme Ficha de segurança... não há estudos que comprovem que o produto é tóxico. Diz que deve ser lavado as mãos após o uso e que se possível o uso de luvas é adequado.

Segue ficha para seus comentários.Ficha de Segurança

  1. Esse é um texto da AOSA Rules:

    "Laboratories must practice safety procedures to ensure the health and well-being of their employees and
    the safety of their lab facility. Latex and rubber gloves, safety eyewear, exhaust/fume hoods and
    chemical storage cabinets should all be part of the laboratory set-up. Labs should follow the MSDS
    guidelines and properly dispose of the chemical through incineration or chemical storage and transport
    methods. Disposal methods are dependent on state and local regulations. Safety and concern for
    employees and the environment are essential considerations."

    Hello, if you want to use it for MTT assay, it’s not a big deal to take a lot of safety measures. You would probably need to wear a glove or something because if it sticks to your hand, it turns blue. I am a student and I work in research and a lot of my work is based on this assay so don’t worry.

    Tetrazolium salts are known skin and eye irritants. However, their mutagenic effects are not known. Hence proper lab attire(labcoat, gloves and goggles) should be sufficient. All the best!
