Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and hygroscopic nature, this material must be stored under a dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize degradation and maintain stability. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents.
