Chemical Name: Uridine Triphosphate Trisodium Salt
Synonyms: UTP Na3, Uridine 5’-Triphosphate Trisodium Salt
Chemical Formula: C9H11N2Na3O15P3
Molecular Weight: 536.13 g/mol
Appearance: White to off-white powder
Odor: Mild or no distinctive odor
Solubility: Freely soluble in water, limited in organic solvents
Hazard Classification: Not known as acutely toxic by oral, dermal, or inhalation routes under normal laboratory handling
GHS Label Elements: No pictogram required
Potential Health Effects: Mild irritation possible from dust contact with eyes or skin; ingestion or inhalation of large amounts could potentially cause gastrointestinal discomfort
Uridine 5′-Triphosphate Trisodium Salt: greater than 98 percent by weight
Other Ingredients: Residual water content from storage or environmental exposure; trace levels of sodium chloride possible from synthesis
Inhalation: Move to area with fresh air; seek care if symptoms like coughing or difficulty breathing start.
Skin Contact: Wash area with soap and water; remove residue and avoid further exposure.
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes; get medical attention if irritation continues.
Ingestion: Wash mouth with water; medical advice needed if large amounts are swallowed or symptoms show up
Suitable Extinguishing Agents: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Unusual Hazards: Product doesn't burn easily; thermal decomposition may release irritating fumes such as phosphorous oxides or nitrogen oxides
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing if large amounts burn, as fumes could irritate
Personal Precautions: Prevent dust formation; avoid inhalation and contact with eyes or skin
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up gently; use damp cloth to tackle fine dust; bag and seal in a designated waste container
Environmental Precautions: Stop leftover powder from washing into drains or water systems
Handling: Use local ventilation—damp hands, fitted goggles, and gloves help avoid powder exposure
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed at recommended temperatures—many labs keep it at low temps (such as 2–8°C); keep away from moisture, direct sunlight, and incompatible materials like acids or bases
Incompatible Substances: Strong oxidizers, acids, and bases may react or break down product faster
Engineering Controls: Operate with good airflow—fume hood best for weighing powdered sample
Respiratory Protection: Dust mask or particulate respirator could be needed for larger-scale handling
Hand Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene)
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles
Body Protection: Laboratory coat or dedicated work garment; close-toed shoes
Physical State: Solid
Color: White to slightly off-white
Melting Point: No sharp melting—decomposes
pH (1% solution): 7.0–8.5
Solubility: Dissolves quickly in pure water
Odor: Almost none
Boiling Point, Flash Point: Not applicable because product decomposes before vaporizing
Vapor Pressure: Negligible
Chemical Stability: Remains stable under cool, dry storage—moisture or light degrades quality over time
Reactivity: Not reactive under normal lab use, reacts with strong oxidizers or acids
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Can break down into carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, phosphorus oxides if burned or heated to decomposition
Likely Exposure Routes: Routes most relevant to labs include skin, eyes, and accidental dust inhalation
Acute Effects: Mild irritation; no strong evidence suggests acute toxicity in mammals at typical laboratory exposure
Chronic Effects: No scientific studies suggest allergic or cancer-causing effects from regular lab use
Additional Info: Professional judgment and experience back up the low-hazard profile; prudent practice avoids unnecessary exposure
Environmental Fate: Water solubility points to possibility of easier movement in runoff—but as a nucleotide, it’s likely to break down naturally
Toxicity to Aquatic Life: Low concern at small quantities typical from research or teaching labs
Persistence and Bioaccumulation: Expected to degrade more than persist or build up in food chains
Waste Handling: Collect solid and contaminated disposables in labeled chemical waste containers
Method: Treatment by incineration in compliance with regulated waste protocols—landfill only if local rules allow
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse, then treat all packaging as chemical waste to avoid unintentional residue release
UN Number: Not regulated as hazardous for transport under typical research or commercial protocols
Transport Hazards: Little or no special requirement; keep packaging sealed against moisture
Precautions: Avoid physical shocks and extreme temperatures during shipping or daily transfers
Workplace Regulation: No specific exposure limits or restrictions for this chemical in standard workplace requirements
Global Inventories: Components listed in chemical inventories of EU, US, Canada, and other regions; not usually subject to special restrictions
SDS Requirements: Best practice insists on communicating hazard and use guidance, even if regulatory mandates do not require warning labels
