Application

Benzidine (4,4′-Diaminobiphenyl) is an environmental genotoxin that posses increased risks of cancer to exposed people. Benzidine may be used as a reference material in procedures that analyze for benzidine. Benzidine can be used in studies on its mechanisms of genotoxicity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tumor initiator in mammalian liver and urinary bladder.

Packaging

Packaged in a 100 mL serum bottle with butyl rubber stopper and aluminum tear seal.

Caution

OSHA′s Safety and Health Standard 29 CFR 1910 does not apply to a solution or mixture containing less than 0.1%. Injecting a compatible solvent permits preparation of any desired strength solution without exposure to benzidine.

Reconstitution

Dissolving the contents in 100 mL of solvent yields a 0.1% solution.
