Application and Context
Research chemicals are chemical substances used primarily for scientific research. They are explicitly not intended for human consumption. It is crucial to follow the appropriate safety recommendations to minimize exposure and harmful effects. When working with these chemicals, always take appropriate protective measures, such as wearing personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses, lab coats) and working in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. It is also essential to seek immediate medical assistance in case of exposure or incidents. If you feel unwell after (accidental) ingestion and/or contact, we advise you to immediately consult a poison control center or a doctor.
