Safety Data Sheets

Last Modified: February 02, 2024

There are only three items shipped by the NVSL that require a safety data sheet (SDS) 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.
