| Chemical Properties | brown fine crystalline powder and chunks |
| Chemical Properties | 3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole is a brown or tan, crystalline compound. |
| Uses | 3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC) has been used as a chromogen in immunohistochemistry to visualize the cells. It has also been used as a substrate in enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot (ELISpot). |
| Uses | 3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole has been used to visualize the bound primary antibody by using a streptavidin method. It has also been used in visualizing tissue sections from tumour samples. |
| Definition | A hydrochloride salt
and free amine solid compound.
|
| General Description | Tan powder. |
| Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. |
| Reactivity Profile | 3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. |
| Hazard | Questionable carcinogen; poison.
|
| Health Hazard | ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition 3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole emits toxic fumes. |
| Fire Hazard | Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. |
| Safety Profile | Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic data. Poison by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx,. |
| Potential Exposure | Plant workers engaged in the manufacture of this compound and its use in pigment manufacture. Laboratory workers using this material in colorimetric enzyme assays and as a biological stain |
| Shipping | UN2811 Toxic solids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required. |
| Incompatibilities | 3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. |
| Waste Disposal | Incinerator equipped with a scrubber or thermal unit to reduce nitrogen oxides emissions. |
