Working with Rubidium metal in a breakseal ampoule requires careful handling and adherence to safety protocols. Here are some short safety instructions to follow: 1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat, to protect yourself from potential hazards. 2. Ventilation: Perform all operations in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to prevent the accumulation of hazardous fumes or gases. 3. Breakseal Ampoule Opening: Use caution when opening the breakseal ampoule containing Rubidium metal. Ensure that you are familiar with the proper technique for breaking the seal without causing any spills or splatters. 4. Handling: Handle the Rubidium metal with clean, dry, and non-reactive tools. Avoid contact with moisture, as Rubidium reacts violently with water, releasing flammable hydrogen gas. 5. Storage: Store the Rubidium metal in a tightly sealed container, away from moisture, air, and incompatible substances. Keep it in a cool, dry place, preferably in a flammable materials storage cabinet. 6. Fire Safety: In case of a fire involving Rubidium metal, use a Class D fire extinguisher specifically designed for metal fires. Do not use water or other extinguishing agents that can react with Rubidium. 7. Spill Management: In the event of a Rubidium metal spill, evacuate the area and restrict access. Contact the appropriate authorities or a hazardous materials response team for assistance in cleanup and disposal. 8. Waste Disposal: Dispose of Rubidium metal waste according to local regulations and guidelines. Consult with your institution's waste management department for proper disposal methods. 9. Emergency Preparedness: Familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of safety equipment, such as eyewash stations, safety showers, and fire extinguishers, in case of an emergency. 10. Training and Knowledge: Ensure that you have received proper training and have a good understanding of the properties, hazards, and safe handling procedures associated with Rubidium metal before working with it. Remember, these instructions are only a general guide. Always consult the specific safety guidelines provided by your institution or employer when working with Rubidium metal or any other hazardous materials.
