Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should be kept sealed after each use to minimize exposure to air.
