L-Ornithine Hydrochloride CAS 3184-13-2

1. L-Ornithine hydrochloride is a non-proteinogenic amino acid used as a dietary supplement to support ammonia detoxification, liver function, and athletic performance, as it plays a central role in the urea cycle .
2. L-Ornithine hydrochloride CAS 3184-13-2 serves as a key precursor for the synthesis of polyamines and is used in cell culture media formulations to support cell growth and metabolism .
3. In biomedical research, L-Ornithine hydrochloride is employed in studies of nitrogen metabolism, hepatic encephalopathy, and wound healing due to its role in collagen synthesis .
4. The compound is also utilized as a building block in peptide synthesis and as a reference standard in analytical chemistry for amino acid analysis .

1. L-Ornithine hydrochloride must be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, protected from light and moisture; powder is stable for up to 3 years at -20°C or 2 years at 4°C .
2. L-Ornithine hydrochloride CAS 3184-13-2 is classified as non-hazardous under normal handling conditions according to GHS criteria, but may cause mild skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritation .
3. Personnel should wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles with side-shields, and protective clothing when handling this substance, avoiding formation of dust and aerosols .
4. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents; for solution storage, prepare aliquots and use within 1 month at -20°C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles .

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure adequate ventilation, and wear full personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and suitable dust respirator when L-Ornithine hydrochloride is released .
2. Collect L-Ornithine hydrochloride CAS 3184-13-2 by sweeping or vacuuming without creating dust using non-sparking tools, and place into suitable closed containers for disposal .
3. Avoid creating dust clouds during cleanup to prevent respiratory exposure; prevent the product from entering drains or water courses .
4. Dispose of collected material according to local, state, and federal environmental regulations; the substance is considered non-hazardous for transport (DOT, IATA, IMDG) .

1. L-Ornithine hydrochloride is not classified as highly flammable but may decompose under fire conditions, emitting toxic fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrogen chloride .
2. Use water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish fires involving the product; do NOT use a direct water jet as L-Ornithine hydrochloride CAS 3184-13-2 may scatter burning material .
3. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH approved, and full protective gear when handling burning L-Ornithine hydrochloride due to hazardous decomposition gases generated by thermal decomposition .
4. During combustion, may emit irritant and toxic fumes; contain fire runoff to prevent environmental contamination .
