Reactivity Data
Conditions to avoid: none.
Incompatible Materials: none.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: none.
Route of Entry - Skin: no (sealed cells).
Route of Entry - Ingestion: no (sealed cells).
Health Hazard acute and chronic: Due to the small size and volume of the sealed cells and the
complete sealing of the materials in quartz cells the only contact that can be made to the chemicals
is through the breakage of the cells. The quartz shards would be more hazardous and must be handled
as with any glass breakage.
Carcinogenicity: none.

Medical Conditions aggravated by exposure: none.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: In the event of breakage of any of cells, wash with water and
safely dispose of the quartz pieces.
dispose of the quartz pieces.
Waste disposable method: The only waste generated by the breakage would be the quartz container.
Dispose of the quartz pieces as you would for any broken laboratory glassware.
Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storing: none.
Ventilation: none required.
Protective Gloves: Chemical resistant gloves.
