Material Safety Data Sheets

Divider

There are only three items shipped by the NVSL that require a material safety data sheet (MSDS) as specified in the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1910.1200). Tuberculosis sampling kits distributed by the NVSL contain a 10% formalin solution (neutral buffered, pH 7) and a 6% sodium tetraborate decahydrate solution. Dry ice is sometimes used to ship biological materials.

  • MSDS for 10% formalin (PDF, 43 KB)
  • MSDS for sodium tetraborate decahydrate (PDF, 65 KB)
  • MSDS for dry ice (PDF, 43 KB)

We also provide the following MSDS for the ingredients of Tris-buffered tryptose (TBTB) broth:
