Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, this material should be handled and stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a glovebox or sealed desiccator to prevent degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
