I can't remember a SMAC reagent with cyanide. The SMA CPC calcium reagent contained cyanide but this was removed from the SMAC reagent.
In the original SMAC MBTH/DMA glucose method [glucose oxidase/peroxidase 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH)-N,N-dimethylaniline)] 1mL of (DMA) reagent had to be added before use. The bottle label said "May be fatal by skin absorption"
