Angiotensin I Solutions
This chapter describes how to prepare solutions containing Angiotensin I (acetate hydrate). A
stock solution is diluted to make a test solution. The test solution is used to demonstrate the
application of the LTQ XL/ETD or LTQ Velos/ETD system and to optimize the reagent ion
reaction time.
Angiotensin I is potentially hazardous. Handle it according to its MSDS.
Always take safety precautions when you handle chemicals and unknown samples. Read and
understand the hazards of the chemicals used in the following preparations. Dispose of all
laboratory reagents by the appropriate method for a specific reagent or solvent.
By law, producers and suppliers of chemical compounds are required to provide their
customers with the most current health and safety information in the form of an MSDS. The
MSDS provides summarized information about the hazard and toxicity of specific chemical
compounds. Is also provides information about the proper handling of compounds, first aid
for accidental exposure, and procedures for cleaning spills or dealing with leaks. Read the
MSDS for each chemical you use. Dispose of all laboratory reagents according to the
directions in the MSDS.
The Angiotensin I in the ETD Reagent Kit (Thermo Reagent Kit P/N 98000-62008,
Thermo Angiotensin P/N 00301-15517) is Sigma/Aldrich Part Number A9650. The
Angiotensin I MSDS is available on the following Web page:

CAUTION
AVOID EXPOSURE TO POTENTIALLY HARMFUL MATERIALS.
Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when you use solvents or corrosives. Also,
contain waste streams and use proper ventilation. Refer to the supplier’s MSDS for the
proper handling of a particular solvent.
