Date of Issue: 2024-05-10
Classification: Not considered hazardous under GHS criteria
Physical Hazards: Contains non-reactive plastics, can break and create sharps
Health Hazards: Inhalation of dust from broken plates may irritate respiratory system
Environment Hazards: Non-biodegradable material contributes to landfill mass; does not release toxic substances into soil or water
Label Elements: None required; handle as laboratory glassware
Precautionary Statements: Avoid dropping or forceful impact to prevent sharps; wear gloves during and after use
Base Material: Polystyrene, 98-100%
Additives: None identified for standard product
Growth Media (if pre-filled): Agar-agar (3-5%), distilled water, selective nutrients for microbial growth, trace sodium chloride
Impurities: No notable residual monomers or heavy metals detected in product specifications
Chemical Formula: (C8H8)n for polystyrene base
Inhalation: Move to fresh air if dust inhaled; seek medical attention if irritation continues
Skin Contact: Rinse with soap and water if skin irritation occurs after handling plate or media
Eye Contact: Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; get medical evaluation if material lodges in eye
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; consult medical help for any symptoms after swallowing plate fragments or media
Sharp Object Injury: Wash wound carefully to remove potential contaminants; seek medical advice for cuts from broken plate
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or CO2 for polystyrene
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet may scatter burning material
Specific Hazards: Melting releases dense black smoke; combustion generates styrene vapors, carbon monoxide, and irritant fumes
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus; avoid inhaling combustion products
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Remove products near fire if possible; cool containers with water to prevent rupture
Personal Precautions: Use gloves to pick up broken plates; avoid inhaling dust
Environmental Precautions: Collect fragments to prevent littering drains or soil
Methods for Cleaning Up: Sweep or use forceps to collect all pieces; place in suitable solid waste container
Disposal: Follow local waste disposal guidelines for laboratory plasticware
Spill of Filled Media: Wipe with disinfectant; dispose of biological media as biohazard waste
Handling Recommendations: Hold firmly by edges, avoid bending or pressure on center of plate
Storage Conditions: Store in clean, cool, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, direct flames
Safe Storage Practices: Seal unused product in original pack; keep out of reach of unauthorized users
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling; use dedicated lab coats when dealing with microbiological agents
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits set for polystyrene
Engineering Controls: Use in well-ventilated space
Personal Protective Equipment: Standard lab gloves, protective goggles, laboratory coat
Respiratory Protection: Not required for intact product; dust mask advisable if cutting or breaking
Workplace Practices: Avoid eating or drinking when handling plates
Appearance: Transparent, round shallow plate with fitted lid
Odor: Odorless (base plate); may have mild nutrient scent if pre-filled
Melting Point: Approximately 240°C (polystyrene base)
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Density: Approx. 1.05 g/cm³ for polystyrene
Solubility in Water: Insoluble
pH (of filled media): Neutral (6.8-7.4)
Chemical Stability: Stable at recommended storage conditions
Reactivity: Non-reactive under normal laboratory use
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flame, strong oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Nitric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid
Hazardous Decomposition: Styrene, carbon monoxide, irritating fumes if burned
Acute Toxicity: Polystyrene considered inert; not absorbed by body
Chronic Effects: No evidence of chronic toxicity at normal exposure levels
Inhalation: Dust may irritate respiratory system if product is broken
Skin Contact: Prolonged handling of media may cause dryness for sensitive individuals
Ingestion: Considered low risk; physical blockage possible with fragments
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Environmental Impact: Non-biodegradable; persistent in soil and water environments
Aquatic Toxicity: No acute toxicity; poses physical hazard for wildlife if ingested
Persistence and Degradability: Slow degradation in nature over decades
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate
Discharge Practice: Avoid uncontrolled release to environment; collect and dispose as solid waste
Waste Disposal: Treat as non-hazardous plastic waste unless contaminated with biohazardous media
Disposal Methods: Incineration or burial in authorized landfill
Contaminated Packaging: Autoclave if microbiological risks present before disposal
Regulatory Requirement: Comply with local, national waste management protocols
Recycling: Only recycle if confirmed uncontaminated and local facilities accept lab plastics
