Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile, hygroscopic, and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Handle and open containers only in a controlled, moisture-free environment.
